Specify font size in email application

Where can I configure the font size used in the email application? Especially the list of messages only shows 5 where ther would be more room if a smaller font was used.
Solved!
Go to Solution.

i do not believe there is a way to make the overall font size smaller to allow for the ability to see more then 5 email on a screen.
yes, you can change the font size with a couple of different applications in the extras-devel, but they will not allow you to see more bars of email in the email client.
if you are in an email...or have an email open, you can use the volume key to zoom in or out and make the font size bigger.
but, this does not affect the inbox, etc.

How can you change the font size in the application and system headers?

How can you change the font size in the application and system headers? I searched the system and finder prefs to no avail. Changing the screen density is not a good option.
Thanks

I downloaded Tinkertool. Found the font section and increased the size of most selections. The only thing that changed that I can see is the window label. The apple line, bookmarks line, the tool bar in safari are all the same---font size of about 4. Found the finder "show view options" but that didn't seem to change anything either. I'll keep working. Restarted all apps after changes as well.

How do I change the default setting for font size when emailing?

I have Firefox 3.6.13. The default now is 10 and I'd like it 12.

Firefox has no email features, it is just a web browser. Any email settings will be part of the email service that you are using, you will need to contact the support for the email service to see how to change the default font size in emails.

Font size in email Invites

How do I change the font size of email which go out for meetings. The font is seriously size 8 or smaller and I can't find an option anywhere to make it reasonable/readable size.
Where in the options is this possible?
Thanks

If you have a licensed server, I believe you can edit this in the language.xml file. If you are hosted, I don't believe there is much you can do. We don't use the internal e-mail tool in Connect, as we don't like to send plain text emails, so we generate our own emails/invites and include the link to the room or object in the custom emails.

How to change font size for email sent

Email sent from my 4th generation iPod Touch appears with a tiny font ( 4pt.) on computers screens and printouts. Is there a way to change this on the iPod Touch? I have not been able to make the font larger in Mail on MBA. I am able to adjust font size of email form iPod Touch on Win 7.
Thanks

Hi, I just tried a few of the other suggestoions on related threads. Adjusting the font in the iPod only enlarges font on screen of iDevice. I set it back to Medium. That was OK.
In Mail on MBA command + enlarges font on screen only. Printout is still very small.
Thsi\\is seems to be something related to Mail not the iPod. Email does appear in normal size font on iBook running Panther, XP, Win 7 units. Printouts are normal size too.
Thanks again for your help. Being able to make the font larger on the MBA screen is good.

Can we specify Font size in the Inspector window?

I am a whiz at MS Word. I'm totally lost in Pages. My current dilemma is how to specify the size of my text in the inspector window. Is it possible?
Currently, the only way I can change the font size is by clicking Format > Font > Show Fonts > and making the change in the new window. Is that the only way?
Sigh. Here's hoping I can figure out Pages soon or I'll be stuck in limbo, juggling both a PC and a Mac.

You might want to explore the keyboard shortcuts.
⌘ +T will show your fonts. (Lot easier than using the menu.)
I also changed the increase font size shortcut from ⌘ + and - to ⌘ + > or <, just like Appleworks. You can change the shortcuts using the keyboard system preference.
<ol type=>
Choose Apple menu > System Preferences and click Keyboard & Mouse.
Click Keyboard Shortcuts.
To disable a shortcut, deselect the checkbox next to its description in the list.
To change the key combination for a shortcut, select the character in the Shortcut list. Type a new shortcut by holding down the key combination that you want to use instead.
Tip: You cannot use each type of key (for example, a letter key) more than once in a key combination.
Quit and restart any applications you are using for the new keyboard shortcut to take effect.

Setting a Pre determined Font size for an Application.

I have a Swing application that is running on Windows and the FONT size
expands on the GUI if I change the Appearance of the Font in Windows XP
This normally should not happen as the appearances of the Windows Font size
should have no impact on the application that is running.
But to be on a safer side,can can I use any method that will have a predetermined
FONT size when the Swing application executes:
like : setFont(new Font("Courier", Font.PLAIN, 12));
The code below is the starting point of the application.
public class RFApp extends SingleFrameApplication {
     private RFMainFrame mainFrame;
     @Override
     protected void startup() {
          mainFrame = new RFMainFrame();
          setMainFrame(mainFrame);
          show(mainFrame);
public class MainFrame extends JFrame {
     private final ToolBar toolBar = new ToolBar(this);
     private final StatusBar statusBar = new StatusBar(this);
     private final MainPanel mainPanel = new MainPanel(this);
     public MainFrame() {
          super("Main Frame"); // This has a BIG FONT increase
          initComponents();
     private void initComponents() {
          setLayout(new BorderLayout());
          getContentPane().add(toolBar, BorderLayout.NORTH);
          getContentPane().add(mainPanel, BorderLayout.CENTER);
          getContentPane().add(statusBar, BorderLayout.SOUTH);
}

Since you really need to change foreground and etc. Use the following code to list all the resources that may set the font colors you want (the example only excludes background color resource, so it may set more than what you want, you need to pin point specific color resouces from the print out to suit your own need).
UIDefaults defaults = UIManager.getLookAndFeelDefaults();
for(Iterator i = defaults.keySet().iterator(); i.hasNext();) {
String name = (String)i.next();
Object value = defaults.get(name);
if (value instanceof ColorUIResource && !name.endsWith("Background")
&& !name.endsWith("background")) {
System.out.println(name);
UIManager.put(name, new ColorUIResource(Color.red));
}

Can you change the font size of emails?

Hello All,
Lately on the new Tour i find text to email messages and some email messages have font sizes that are rather large. Is anyone aware of a way to set a font size for generic email?
"The world is not given to us by our fathers, It is something borrowed from our children."

It's actually a pretty awesome feature! Whenever I get an HTML encoded e-mail, it looks like this so people sitting next to me can easily read it too! It is also great in case I drop my Berry on the floor -- I can finish reading the rest of the sentence before I have to pick it up again!

Font size in email folder view

I'm hoping that someone out there has figured out the solution to this problem. I have an IMAP email account synced to my iPhone - and I have my emails organised into folders, which are also synced across.
That's all great, but I find that I can only read part of the folder names once I get one or two levels down the folder tree. Is there anyway to decrease the font size in the email folder view so the whole folder names can be seen? If not, anyone have any other bright ideas for a workaround?
Thanks, guys!

Well, when it is happening it happens to all emails in the email app. The behavior is very strange. Again, it's as if all the emails are zoomed out. The only way to fix it that I can see is to hold the power button down and reboot the phone. When it comes back up it's normal....for awhile. I haven't figured out what triggers the behavior.

Font size in email too small

All of a sudden the font size in the email app is small. It's as if each mail has been zoomed out. I upgraded to iOS 4.2 a few days ago, but this just started happening today. It is not dictated by the setting for minimum font size. I have never changed that setting and it's set to medium.
If I reboot the phone, the font size goes back to normal for awhile, but then gets small again. Any ideas?
