Tiny font size

Hi,
I am using a 20 inch screen with a native resolution of 1600 x 1200. The font size of the articles and blogs appears really tiny and thus hard to read.
I would suggest to use the same font size as in the forums.
Or at least make the font size customizable for the user. If I use Ctrl+Mouse wheel I can change the font size of the left navigation pane but unfortunately it has no effect on the content pane of articles and blogs.
Cheers,
Marcus.

Are you sure?
Look at this:
https://www.sdn.sap.com/irj/sdn/weblogs?blog=/pub/wlg/4256 [original link is broken] [original link is broken] [original link is broken] [original link is broken]
Search for: <font size=2>
But in future I will leave the font size as default and hope that the font become bigger in standard. My eyes are not the best.
Regards
Stefan

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.

<pre><nowiki>@-moz-document
domain(google.com) {
body, body * { font-size: 1em !important; }

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)

Tiny Font Size in Bridge

I have a running battle between running my monitor (a crt) at native resolution (1600x1200) and the resulting, almost unreadable font size in the Favorites/Folders column. The metadata is much larger and entirely adequate. Why is this so and what do I need to do to make the folder information font size the same as the metadata?

Unfortunately this will require some new programming by Adobe and there's no way to know when that will happen. In the meantime, the only option I think you have available to you is to change your resolution so that your monitor is using fewer pixels per inch.
Kinda blows the whole value of the newer monitor but I suppose you can switch back and forth from low res when you are working in Bridge to high res when you are working in PS.
Sorry, but for the time being, that's about it.
Best,
Gary

Tiny font size on G3 menus

I recently gave a Bondi Blue 233 Mhz G3 iMac to my parents. I noticed before giving it to them that the fonts on the menu bars were very small, both in Finder and the applications. I tried everything I could think of to increase the size, but nothing worked. I also posted a question on my local Apple Users' discussion board but no one could help me.
So far my parents have been able to see the words OK, but I'd like to increase the size if possible. I increased the size of the icons in Finder so they're really huge. My parents are in their 80s and this is their first Mac. My sister gave them a PC a few years ago but it was too confusing and they got rid of it. I'm hoping the iMac will at least get them off of WebTV!
By the way, I'm about 400 miles away from my parents so unless there's a really simple solution that I can walk them through via phone or email, I might not be able to try any suggestions until I visit them in August.
Thanks!

Hello and Welcome to Apple Discussions.
I assume the screen resolution is at the default 1024x768. You could change it to 800x600 to make it easier on the eyes. The other option is to explore Easy Access (I'm assuming this iMac is still in OS 8.6/9 - it's called Universal Access under OS X) which provides a Zoom facility. If it is OS X you're using on the iMac then the VoiceOver facility will read out commands / OS options (Apple and F5 toggles this on/off).

Setting overall font size?

Mom and Dad don't like the full resolution 'tiny' font size on their new iMac. If I set the resolution to 'lower' everything gets much bigger on the screen ... but then awkward, and spills outside the screen frame.
Is there a way to keep the high resolution AND make all the general screen fonts larger?
Any help woud be most appreciated...
Ben

Unfortunately, there is no system-wide way to change the font size in Mac OS X. And LCD screens work at their best only at their native (high) resolution. So we are kind of stuck with regard to font size. Of course we can increase the text size in Safari and in Mail, but most menu and system fonts are not adjustable at all.
There has been talk of a feature called "resolution independence" which was rumored to be introduced with Leopard. Unfortunately not yet. A feature such as this would make it possible to change font sizes of the GUI freely while using the LCD screen at its native resolution. We can only hope that this will appear in some future update to OS X.

Is there a way to auto increase font size in Mail?

Some mail I receive uses a tiny font size. I click "Command plus" to increase the font on these. Is there a way to have Mail automatically increase any font size that is below a certain size?

Hello 4thSpace,
Have you tried increasing the fond size in the preferences?
Mail menu > Preferences > Fonts & Colors.
Play around with the 'Message font' and 'Fixed-width font' settings. If changes do not seem to be taking effect, restart mail after every change (you shouldn't have to).

Can hardly read tiny font on my Juno email page and can't find how to change font size or color, which is light blue.

That's it in a nutshell. I never had this problem with IE, but when I changed to Firefox suddenly there's all my emails listed in tiny blue font. Can't find anything on the Address Bar to change it.
When I open the emails, they're fine--but the page listing them is awful. And light blue font on white background makes reading it more painful on the eyes.

My wife had the same problem. Click on the tools icon in your web browser and go to the "zoom" feature. You can adjust the font size there.

I have iphone 4s and just bought an ebook for ibook, trouble is the font is so tiny I can't read it and the font sizer is not working? Please help!

Hi, I have the iphone 4s and just bought an ebook for ibook, trouble is the font is so tiny I can't read it and the font sizer is not working? Please help!

Hello Glittergirl68,
Thank you for using Apple Support Communities.
It sounds like the function to reseize the Font in an iBook is not functioning properly.
I recommend a few things here. First close all the apps that are running in the background:
Double-click the Home button.
Swipe left or right until you have located the app you wish to close.
Swipe the app up to close it.
From: iOS: Force an app to close
http://support.apple.com/kb/ht5137
When you have done that, restart the phone, and try again.
If the issue persists, I would follow these steps from the article:
iOS: Troubleshooting apps purchased from the App Store
http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1702
2. Check for app updates
You can setup apps to update automatically in Settings > iTunes & App Store, but make sure that your apps are up to date:
Open the App Store and tap Updates. If updates are available, tap Update All.
If prompted, enter your iTunes Store account information. App Store will then download and install the app updates.
Note: Some apps may require a Wi-Fi connection to update.
3. Install another app from the App Store
If none of your user-installed apps will launch, there could be an issue with Apple ID authorization. Download and install an app that isn't already installed on your device to reset this information. You can also remove an app from your iOS device and download it again from the App Store or sync the app from your computer.Note: If you have installed apps using multiple Apple ID accounts, you may need to perform this step for each account.
4. Restart the app
If the issue affects only a single app, try closing just that app.
5. Restart your device
Turn the device off and on.
6. Reinstall the affected app
Remove the app from your device and reinstall it:
Tap and hold any app icon on the Home Screen until the icons start to wiggle and show a small "x" in the top-right corner of the app.
Tap the "x" in the corner of the app you want to delete.
Tap Delete to remove the app and all of its data from your device.
Press the Home button.
Go to the App Store.
Search for the app and then download it again.
All the very best,
Sterling

How can I increase the font size of my email when I print it out, it is printing tiny

How can I increase the font size when I print out emails, it is printing tiny size?

In the Print dialog window, click the small reveal-button to the right of the printer's name -
The window will expand to show additional settings (similar to 'old' Page Setup) -
Be sure "Scale:" is set to 100% and the 'Keep apparent font size' item is checked.

Extremely inconsistent font sizes--tiny on page and huge in textboxes

Hello,
I am running Firefox 23 on Slackware Linux. My computer is an ultrabook with an relatively small, high resolution screen, so I have had to set a high dpi (190) to get font sizes rendered appropriately. The value of 190 was obtained by calculating the proper value for my screen size and resolution (11.3 inches; 1900 x 1080), and in most circumstances, everything looks good.
However, in Firefox, my fonts are extremely tiny. I have installed an add-on No-Squint to set the default zoom level of every page to 170 %, which works well. However, this results in normal (or even rather small) page fonts, while the fonts in textboxes (like password fields, select-some-value boxes, etc.) are enormous. It seems like the fonts in the textboxes are respecting my dpi value, while the rest of the fonts on the page are not. This means that when the page is zoomed in, the textbox fonts look huge.
What I need is a way to make Firefox either respect my system dpi everywhere or nowhere. I have tried changing the values for layout.css.devPixelsPerPx, and it makes no difference.
Thanks for any help.

I just noticed you have the older zoom setting of remembering zoom level for the current tab rather than by the site. I'm not sure how that interacts with NoSquint.

I have followed all the instructions for setting the font size,but it remains very tiny (6 or 8 point). Why?

Though the font on the desktop and email programs is fine (14 or 16 point), on the google sedarch pages or any websites that are accessed via Firefox, it is tiny. What's wrong? How can I make things more legible? I am working on a laptop and followed all the instructions given in DISPLAY.
Thanks for any advice.

You can use an extension to set a default font size and page zoom on web pages.

Outgoing email font size goes from huge to tiny, can't fix it, help!

Can anybody help? People keep telling me my emails have this huge font size that gradually decreases until it's so tiny they can barely read it by the end of the email. On my end, I can't see it, everything looks normal, when I view the sent emails, they are still normal. I have tried to fix it in the Options, but I can't! It doesn't matter what I set that to, everybody keeps telling me it is still horrible, huge to tiny, and I can't even see it because on my end, it looks normal. I wrote to Yahoo and they tell me it isn't something they can do anything about so I thought I'd try this. I'm not very computer savvy. I have a Toshiba laptop and have Windows 7 home version. Any ideas out there?? Thanks! :-)

I'm having trouble picturing how others would see it but not you. One possibility is that you've set a minimum font size and therefore you aren't noticing that your email site is doing something weird to your messages. You can turn off your minimum font size temporarily for testing here:
orange Firefox button (or Tools menu) > Options > Content
In the "Fonts & Colors" section, click the Advanced... button. There you can change your Minimum font size to None. While you're there, do you have the box checked to "Allow pages to choose their own fonts"? That is necessary to get an idea of how Yahoo is displaying the messages. If you OK out, do you notice any difference?
As for what might be causing it, is the problem text all newly typed, or is forwarding and copying/pasting a possible factor?
If you have a few non-confidential messages you want to share with me, I'll send you a private forum message with my email address.

Base Font Size REALLY TINY in JEditorPane

Ok--
I am writing a simple html-viewer for the "Help" frame of a larger application...
I have it working, except I have encountered this strange issue--
The fonts are TINY.... so tiny, that some of the little sublinks are blurs....
How can you rectify the base level of the font size for all documents rendered by the JEditorPane?
ALSO--extra bonus if you can re-clue me into how to start a JFrame not mostly-minimized (IE- equal to the size the EditorPane should be)

The answer to the second question would be:
set the preferred size for the EditorPane and call the pack method on your JFrame before setting it visible.

How do I change font size printing emails. font normal on viewing but when printed is very tiny

When I go to print an email the text comes out too small to read. How do I change the font size. Also, page sometimes moves up and down when I'm typing a reply to an email. Upon viewing before printing the email text, it appears normal font size, but when it prints out the text is too small to read.

It was already on 100 per cent. I clicked it just in case. Nothing happerned.
