OSX System Wide Font Size?

I just bought my first 27 inch iMac..
Although I'm lovin it, I do have it sitting at arms length away from me and am finding the font size vert small..
With this high res display the font is a bit tiny and am just wondering if its possible to change the system wide font size?
Ny eyesight is great but I'm finding that I need the computer right up to my face to be able to comfortable see the fonts..
-Frankie

There are some suggestions here
https://discussions.apple.com/message/17593815#17593815
including changing the screen resolution and the font size for folder and icons.
Another option not mentioned there is to enable the 'Use scroll gesture with modifier keys to zoom' option in
 > System Preferences > Accessibility | Zoom
After that, you can hold down the 'control' key and 2-finger swipe to zoom the entire screen.

System wide font settings

I am a websdite designer / developer and I am noticing that I may have accidently hit a key combination that has changed my system wide font settings...
I have a co-worker, same hardware / software and my browsers render my code different. Same browser, same versions, etc.
It seems my fonts a slightly larger, etc.
Can someone please direct me toward the system settings to fix this? Ive checked my settings and have yet to come across anything that
seems like it has helped at all. Its every browser for me, safari, chrome, firefox, etc.
I have checked 4-5 other mac computers and all render properly.
Thank you

I found the issue.
The site I built is rendering RALEWAY from google fonts... but since i have Raleway installed in my fonts, in my font book, its using my computer to render the font rather than google fonts for some reason. I disabled my raleway font in font book and now it renders properly...

System-wide font problem (malware?)

Hello all,
I have a brand new air here, and tried installing Microsoft Office. Since there is a 30 day trial, I tried uninstalling it.
I downloaded and used the tool from this website: http://www.fixkb.com/2011/06/completely-uninstall-microsoft-office.html
Now, my fonts are all weird. Here's a screenshot of Reddit.com: http://i.imgur.com/CN6j7.png
Here's how it is supposed to look: http://www.pronetadvertising.com/article/images/dc_redinew.png
This website is in Times: http://i.imgur.com/lojne.png
This is how it should look: http://domainsoutlook.com/cache/thumb/n/news.ycombinator.com.png
I used Cocktail and cleared all font caches on user and system. Nothing happened. Problem persists on all browsers.
Why are my fonts all screwed up?

Disable font-smoothing system wide

I want to disable font-smoothing (anti aliase) system wide for mavericks operating system. I already turned off font smoothing for LCD from system preferences (in general).
But it still shows blurry for small fonts in my editor (Zend studio for Eclipse). And it make totally impossible to read small codes.
Any help would be great.

It's definetely the issue. This worked for me: https://bugs.eclipse.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=382972

System-wide blue to purple color switch bug

I've been having a very confusing and inconsistent color issue which has persisted for years on both a PowerBook G4 and my new MacBook Pro using Panther and Tiger respectively. The MacBook is only two weeks old and still has a very clean system.
Seemingly at random blue colors will switch to purple in random places in most apps. Restarting the computer used to solve the issue, but it no longer does - I am permanently stuck with a purple color scheme (screenshots further down).
- The default unvisited link color in all apps has switched from blue to purple.
- The finder icon has switched from blue to purple in both the dock and the command-tab switcher (but the icon is the correct color when viewed inside the CoreServices folder). All other blue dock icons are unaffected.
- Some toolbar or sidebar images in most apps which were blue are now purple, but other blue icons have stayed blue.
I have screenshots just to show that I'm not imagining this. Mail and the Finder use the same drag-and-drop sidebar highlight color. However, Mail has now taken on a purple theme:
And here is the Finder icon as seen in the dock, and then as an alias in the Finder:
Here is what I have tried thus far (nothing has worked):
- Logging out and in
- Logging out and in while holding shift (safe login)
- Restarting the computer
- Restarting the computer while holding shift (safe boot)
- Repairing permissions and restarting
- Zapping the PRAM (command-option-p-r)
- Creating a new user account and logging into it
- Running daily, weekly, and monthly cron scripts using Onyx
- Deleting all caches for applications, fonts, system, and kernel
- Pulled everything out of the main Library (Macintosh HD/Library/), cleared caches, and restarted
From this I've concluded that it's probably a bug or corrupted file in the core system since safe boot, clean user accounts, and a bare library didn't fix the problem. The obvious solution would be to re-install the OS, but I'm afraid that the problem would just happen again since it has been occurring with multiple versions of the OS on two different computers.
Does anyone have any ideas?

I should add that this has been a slowly developing problem, one which is only getting worse. The first effect was a system-wide change in the default unvisited link color. Restarting the computer solved the problem whenever it would occur (about twice a day). The next to be affected was image colors, and once this happened for the first time, restarting the computer no longer fixed the problem.

File Type Associations Do Not Stick System-Wide CS4

When I set File Type Associations for PSD, Tiff, DNG and Jpeg fles in Bridge CS4 so that my files will open in PS CS3 (and insure that the same file associations apply in Bridge CS3), this works as it should from within CS4 and CS3, but it is impossible to introduce a system-wide change in Mac OS 10.5.5 via File-Info. It always reverts to CS4 for these file types, if I try to 'modify all'. The same thing happened when I upgraded from CS2 to CS3.

If File Type Associations are set properly in the Bridge preferences, the default setting can be made to open files in PS CS3, with CS4 installed. This works from within CS3 and CS4. However, it sometimes happens that one is in the Finder, and the default remains PS CS4, however much one tries (via File-Get Info) to modify the default system-wide settings so that these files open in CS3. In any event, a bit invasive. Of course, if I could get comfortable with the Adjustment Layer Panels, all this would be unnecessary, but for the moment, there appear to be too many clicks, and it is going to take some time, so I don't want to burn bridges. Perhaps there is also some ambiguity in my mind as to what the pointing finger in the new Curves dialogue box, much like a tolling bell, is trying to tell me.
But thanks, once again Anne, for your good-natured help.

System-wide spell check will not work

Hi,
I can't get the system-wide spell check to work on my MacBook Pro with the Command + Shift + ; (semicolon) keys. Does anyone know of a solution to this problem? The Spell-Check on the Fly will work.
Thank You,

I was able to zap the pram and that solved the problem.

ITunes 10.7 crashes all apps on Mountain Lion including Force Quit. First system wide prob with an apple computer since OSX introduced. Any ideas?

updated to iTunes 10.7 from app Store last night. After the update, iTunes opens then stalls with the "spinning pizza wheel". Force Quit is unresponsive and will not shut it down. If I then open other applications say Safari for example, the problem migrates over to Safari and it similarly stalls and becomes unresponsive. The only way to solve the problem is to manually shut the computer down. This is the most significant problem I have experienced on an apple computer since OSX was introduced because it impacts on Force Quit which means that you have to shut the whole deal down. There are obvious problems for use of Apple TV and apple store etc. ! I am running mountain lion 10.8.1 on a 27" iMac with 2T Time Capsule connected wirelessly. How do I downgrade iTunes back to 10.6? I had no problems with Mountain Lion or iTunes up to that point.

this is the exact same problem i've been dealing with for the past 2 days. after i installed itunes 10.7 for my iphone5 it would crash my mbp's lion system wide. i tried every solution i could find on google and i've actually had to reinstall lion & time machine my backups because of it. right now i'm too scared to redownload itunes 10.7. i actually feel like waiting for the "new itunes" that comes out in october.

Is there any way to create a system-wide variable?

Hello IDM gurus.
Is there any way to create rarely changing system wide variables that can be loaded at system startup that will be available to all users? For example, at IDM system startup, the variables would be read from configuration or generic objects and live in memory for ALL users as opposed to each workflow/user having to read the same variables when the workflow is run.
Any help would be appreciated.

That may very well be the answer I'm looking for. Is there a way for that to be available within the entire application instead of having to read it in each workflow?

Setting ALSA sound card system wide (rather than just in KDE)

Hi,
I've got an HTPC with an ATI Radeon HD 4350 graphics card running Arch x86. It has its own integrated sound card for outputting audio via HDMI, which is detected by ALSA as a separate device. I've managed to set it as the default audio device in KDE 4 (via System Settings). This allows applications such as Amarok and SMPlayer to properly output audio to the HD 4350's integrated sound card, but software such as Flash and MPlayer (from the command line) are still outputting audio to the motherboard's built-in sound card. How can I change this setting on a system-wide level? I've tried running alsaconf as root and adding
pcm.!default {
type hw
card 2
device 3
to ~/.asoundrc; I got the card and device numbers from aplay:
[htpc@exia ~]$ aplay -l

No, I haven't tried that. I'll give it a shot. Thanks for the tip!

Non-system wide DNS Lookups on RBL (i.e. logical groups supported)

Sun Java System Messaging Server documetation seems to state that RBL filtering can only exist in one of three files that are used for filtering based off of inbound connection IP address. My question is, can conditional execution occur for a section of one of these files based of destination e-mail address?
I'd like to have multipule levels of e-mail filtering using RBL and allow users to be assinged to the level of filtering they desire by joining a logical group which will enable a level of RBL filtering for that logical group.
Any help is greatly appreciated, as far as I can see, I can only have one system wide filtering set, so I can't possibly have one set of e-mail ids using 10 RBL (remote black lists) and another group e-mail ids using a smaller set of RBLs.
======= From the documentation =======
MAIL_ACCESS : Used to block incoming connections based on combined information found in SEND_ACCESS and PORT_ACCESS tables: that is, the channel and address information found in SEND_ACCESS combined with the IP address and port number information found in PORT_ACCESS.
ORIG_MAIL_ACCESS : Used to block incoming connections based on combined information found in ORIG_SEND_ACCESS and PORT_ACCESS tables: that is, the channel and address information found in ORIG_SEND_ACCESS combined with the IP address and port number information found in PORT_ACCESS.
PORT_ACCESS : Used to block incoming connections based on IP number.
====================================

Alas, the RBL stuff is done before iMS even knows who the message is addressd to. That stuff is done at the initial connection phase, as our philosophy is to reject a message just as soon as possible . . .
After the message is accepted, then you can opt-in/out for things like spamassassin, brightmail, etc.

FDM System-wide

I tried using FDM and i love it. However, I did a thorough Google search and this forum for a solution to my issue but could not find any answer. I hope someone will be able to assist me with a solution.
Am wondering if it is possible for FDM to fetch mails from an ISP Domain box (multidrop/catchall mailbox) that holds mails for several users , and then hand them to Postfix that has Dovecot LDA delivery configured. The mails will then be delivered (by Dovecot's LDA) to respective users. I use Fetchmail (that is able to do this), but there are some issues with it, (like sometimes it gets stuck on large mails, etc).
Here I illustrate my current Fetchmail System-wide setup's /etc/fetchmailrc file:
# /etc/fetchmailrc
set postmaster [email protected]
set no bouncemail
set daemon 300
set logfile = "/var/log/fetchmail.log"
poll isp.domain.com proto pop3
localdomains abc.net
no dns
no envelope
user domain_mbox_username
pass domain_mbox_passwd
is * here
In the above fetchmailrc, "is * here*, * is aliased to our catchall account in our local postfix server. The ISP domain mailbox is configured as a catch-all domain and it holds our users emails (several different email addresses but all "@abc.net")
I couldnt find a way to do this with FDM since I am limited to delivering to mbox/maildir directly, and the way I understand it is that I would have to create individual inbox references. This would be tedious if we have some hundreds pop3 local mailboxes, ( I might be wrong in my assumption).
With my current setup, aliasing to the catchall account automatically distributes to respective mailboxes by reading the mail headers. (and also am not very good in coding, please treat me like a newbie )
Looking forward to your assistance.
Thanks and regards,
Clemo

W2K8 & Win7 - Setting system-wide Trusted file locations not working

Win 2008 Network, Win 7 workstations.
RE: Setting system-wide trusted file locations
I have an application using Flash stored on a network location that accesses other files in the same location. This causes the security warning "The following local application... is trying to communicate with this internet-enabled..." I can add the location to the trusted sites in the Setting Manager and the warning goes away. It is not practical however to do this on every machine on the network. I have tried the FlashPlayerTrust directory and mms.cfg file and neither of these seem to work. Is there a trick to getting the FlashPlayerTrust directory to work properly. If I could get this working, I could create a script that copies this file to all machines on the network.
Any help you be greatly appreciated.

Hi Todd,
Can you please provide just a little more detail?
* When you say "accessess", what API is being used? Are the paths to the other files relative, file: URI http: URI, other?
* In the FlashPlayerTrust directory, are you using the same path notation as appears in the Settings Manager? What's a sample {filename}.{ext} being used?
Thanks!

System Wide Text Substitutions

I hope this is the right discussion group for this question. I just discovered that 10.6 has the ability for applications like Text Edit to use automatic text substitutions so that if you type "teh" by accident it will automatically change to "the". This is a great feature since any single "i" will become "I" and so on. You can progran whatever you like. In word processors this would include auto capitalization etc.
Can anyone tell me why this feature does not work for Mail? I am certain more users use Mail than the y do Text Edit (a great programme by the way).
Does Apple intend to extend this feature to Mail in the future. It's always been a problem for me since I use Outlook at work and it includes all those features as part of the Office thing (including auto capitilization). It would really help the workflow of Mail if one could automate some of this stuff.
Thanks

see this link how to enable it system wide. I use it in Mail. very handy.
