Tiny font needed

I've migrated a little booklet I have printed yearly into Pages from PageMaker on the PC. The centerfold of it contains information in very small type. What mac font would be best to use? On the PC I was using 8 point Arial...
Thanks for any pointers you can give.

That was too big, and I agree there should be no difference. But I've now discovered Font Book, and there seem to be several choices that are smaller. On the PC side, I know there have been a few fonts advertised as looking good in small print, but I tried to search for that without luck.
Now I'll play with FOnt BOok. Thanks!

Creative cloud - Menu Bar and Palette's are tiny font.

I just downloaded creative cloud on my lenovo Yoga Pro 2. The size of my Menu Bar and Palette's are tiny font. However, Lightroom menu bar and palette's are in a normal size easy to read font. Can anyone tell me how to change just Photoshop?

For now the solution seems to be using the Scale 200% setting in Edit>Preferences>Experimental Features.
There is also a setting in Edit>Preferences>Interface>UI Font Size that enlarges some of the fonts, although not the menu bar.
After changing either setting, you need to restart photoshop to see the changes.

TCS3 Frame Conditionl text causing tiny fonts in RH Topics

With a linked FrameMaker book, in the Conversion Settings dialog box > Other Settings, I've selected Apply FrameMaker Conditional Text Build Expression. In FrameMaker I've selected Show as per Expression.
The results are disappointing. In apparently random paragraphs in topics that include conditional text, RH is inserting this in the html:
<span style="font-size: 4.0pt;">
Sometimes it inserts it alone, and sometimes it includes it with other extraneous information such as:
<span style="font-style: normal; font-weight: normal;
font-size: 4.0pt; letter-spacing: 0.00em;">
There are no paragraph ovrrides in any of these instances, and it only happens when Apply FrameMaker Conditional Text Build Expression is selected. I could build my expressions in Robohelp, but I'd prefer to manage conditions in Frame for reasons such as excluding many sections (topics in RH) that are conditionalized as "print only." With this check box selected, they don't appear in RH; but without it selected, I'd need to conditionalize the topic again in RH.
Any thoughts?

I just wanted to update in case anyone else has a similar issue.
The problem has gone away and I'm not entirely sure how I did it. I suspect it has to do with how I displayed the conditional text in FrameMaker. Typically I'll just use the Show/Hide dialog box to move conditions to the Show or Hide areas. When I instead built an expression that excluded the conditions (e.g, NOT"Cond1"ANDNOT"Cond2" etc), the problems with the tiny fonts ended. Interestingly, the problem persisted when I built expressions that included conditions.

I don't like the grey on grey tiny font interface in cs6. I don't like going online to make a form

I don't like the grey on grey tiny font interface in cs6. I don't like going online to make a form in Acrobat. If you had a template to suit me, I wouldn't need to create one. I don't like leasing the software from the cloud, I want to own my software and keep my files on my machine.

And you point beyond this being a complaint/ rant? If you have specific questions, ask them, otherwise there's no point in flooding the forum with the millionth complaint about the new CC...

Java 7 Update 7 and 9 on Mac Lion OS 10.7.4 - Applet printing tiny fonts

As of Java 7, when you go to print from an Applet the fonts are no longer readable (super tiny). A preview of the same on content on the screen is not an issue only show a font issue when you print the contents.
To see this failure in action you can test using this page:
[applet demo|https://www.peernet.com/PEERNETReportsServer3/ademos.htm]
On this page,:
1) press the preview button to show the page to be printed
2) press the 'Print...' button, print to any printer and you see the textual information is just printed as dashes (super tiny font).
Any suggestions on how to correct Java 7 printing from applets.
BTW: Works fine from a full Java application.

A tiny font is used in many places across Java Swing applications (help!)

In many places in Java but mostly in text boxes I'm seeing a very small font that is quite hard to read.
I am seeing this all over the place in Java programs and it is getting on my nerves.
I'm not sure what is causing this.
I also encountered this issue when running Java on Windows XP.
I really need help on how to solve this,
Or maybe it is actually a bug with Java itself and Windows?

That is not a problem. Somewhere in that code the programmer uses setFont(....) to make it a smaller font. The default font of a text component does not behave like that.
For more help create a [SSCCE (Short, Self Contained, Compilable and Executable, Example Program)|http://sscce.org/], that demonstrates the incorrect behaviour.
Don't forget to use the Code Formatting Tags so the posted code retains its original formatting. That is done by selecting the code and then clicking on the "Code" button above the question input area.No, it's defiantly a problem. Probably in the default fonts that Swing uses in some places.
I detected one place where I can easily trigger this issue, a JTextArea And the Windows Look and Feel, So here is a SSCCE for you:

Fellow Nokkers, Spend a lot of time on the BBC Mobile site but while sport pages responds to the Font Size settings the news sections doesn't. I need an Electron Microscope to read the tiny tiny font.
Why might BBC Sport and News react differently? Is it me, the phone or the BBC? Or is it my wifes fault?
Thanks for any help because the internet is so much less usefull when you can't read.... Cheers Tim.

Can anyone help with my 3 Pixel Jog Error I get when I run a Browser Compatibility check in DW CS3? The error would show up in IE 6. I am currently connecting my site to a web host. In the meantime, I would like to try to get this one error corrected that I have. Thanks!

I have somehow messed up the display when in Hotmail. This app shows in a very tiny font. No other internet applications are affected. How can I fix this?

The window opens but the actual application appears in tiny font in the middle of the page.

Tiny fonts in non-global zones in JDS

I have installed the u5 image and configured it to run trusted extensions. I have 3 labeled zones and am running the JDS. Everything seems to be working great with one exception. The non-global, labeled zones' JDS workspaces all have tiny fonts, tiny icons, etc. In fact, in the case of the "computer" icon for "This Computer", it is a completely different icon.
When I look at the desktop preferences, they are the same for each of the zones, including the global zone. All of the font sizes, the display size, dpi, etc seem to be the same (gathered from the Desktop Preferences/Fonts tool). I can make the font on the screen appear larger by increasing the size to something fairly big - a 16 point font setting renders like a 10 point font. xdpyinfo output from each of the zones are the same as in the global zone.
I also noticed that the /etc/X11/.xorg.conf file is only in the global zone. For grins, I copied it to each zone but that didn't solve the problem.
Anyone have any ideas?

Hi!
For example: http://wikis.sun.com/display/SAMQFSDocs/New+Features
You can configure QFS at global zone and then delegate some QFS-FS to local-zones over lofs.
Regards.

Tiny Font in PowerPivot Field List

PowerPivot looks like a powerful tool for my users but I can't introduce it to them with such a tiny font in the pivot table field list. I'm using Windows 7, 1920x1200 screen resolution, Excel 2010 (EN-US), and PowerPivot 10.50.1747.0. Raising the magnification
on the document does not affect the field list.
Thanks in advance for your help.

The PowerPivot Field List follows Excel font. So while a smaller smaller font is used by default you can increase the size without having to change
the system font size by modifying the Excel font (File | Options | General | Font) .

Tiny font on Menu Bar & on window when using Apple Mail on new Macbook Air

I have a new MacBook Air and all is good - except my Mail window has tiny fonts, including on the tool bar, and the Menu Bar is also has smaller fonts when Mail is active. I have made the actual messages readable but the rest of the screen is almost too small to read.

I just got my new MacBook Air and I was also really, really disappointed that the menu bar fonts - and all default text sizes in general - are much too small. I wonder if it has to do with the fact that the optimal resolution for the monitor is now 1440x900 instead of 1280x800 as it was in the older MacBook Air models. I guess I just have to go to the optician and get myself a pair of glasses...
But I think this is clearly a design -related problem that Apple should fix asap!

Ggoogle search pages and Blogger's "create new post" pane have teeny tiny font sizes. How do I normalize them?

Google's search results page has a font that is miniscule compared to other pages.
I have tried adjusting the font in the tools>options>content>advanced with no change.
I've also tried resetting the view>zoom feature to no avail.
Blogger's "create new post" pane had an even smaller font, if that's possible.
So far the tiny font phenomenon seems to only affect Google pages, though *'''''not'''''* my iGoogle page.
Any help would appreciated :)
Thank you!

You can do that with a custom stylesheet in userContent.css or with the Stylish extension.
*http://kb.mozillazine.org/userContent.css
* http://kb.mozillazine.org/Editing_configuration
* Stylish: https://addons.mozilla.org/firefox/addon/stylish/
<pre><nowiki>@-moz-document
domain(google.com) {
body, body * { font-size: 1em !important; }
}</nowiki></pre>
You can add more domains to use that rule by adding the domains as a comma separated list like
domain(google.com), domain(blog.com)

*fixed* Really tiny fonts problem

Hi there, i've been a happy archlinux user for quite some time but recently I have developed a problem that I can't find a solution to.
A few weeks ago I got myself a samsung HDTV to use as a monitor and now the fonts in my system behave really strangely. In gnome everything is fine, but GDM, FVWM-Crystal and XFCE4 have really, really tiny fonts. The fonts are so small that I can't even read them.
Can anyone suggest a fix? I tried "startx --dpi 100" but nothing changed.....
Thanks in advance!

Prints in tiny font

officejet 4500, win XP, installed new black cartridge, prints in tiny font when on internet, & in Smart web printing too.
no control of font within printer dialogue box

Please read this post then provide some details. What operating system? How is the printer connected - USB or wired LAN?
What program are you using for email?
I bought my Photosmart 2610's in 2005, it has been discontinued for a few years at least. Do you mean the color cartridge is only a few months old?
Try printing a diagnostic page as shown here. Do colors print properly?
