UI Fonts are WAY too small

I did a search and someone has alluded to the size of the fonts used in Aperture, but not entirely seriously. I'm very serious.
I've only had the trial for a few hours but have a blinder of a headache after straining my eyes over those tiny fonts. Cannot find a way to make them larger, and am hoping that someone here might have a tip/trick to make it doable... otherwise its back to Lightroom for me, sadly.

Thanks for your response, I thought as much but was hopeful for a moment. I just don't get why its like that. Other Apple apps can be adjusted to suit. Why not Aperture. Back to Lightroom for me, sadly.

TS1347 Just downloaded ios7 on my iPad2. Hate that I cannot see the items in my calendar. The letters are way too small and are grey in color. I need the fonts to be dark and very defined...I have health issues-poor vision.

Settings>General>Accessibility>Increase Contrast
Settings>General>Accessibility>Bold Text
are some settings that may help.
There are other settings there ...they may not be to your liking but try them all anyways.
But that's about all you can do for now...except to voice your opinion to Apple here:

How do I make icons bigger? All icons are way too small for speedy use. no matter what I do they remain too small. Is there a way of getting them the same size as previous versions?

All icons, such as refresh page, back, forward, stop and home etc; are just too small for comfortable use. For now I am uninstalling Firefox 4 and going back to 3.x. even the zoom page icons are too small.

"I had read that GarageBand or the Musical Typing there can sometimes not display properly when the resolution is changed."
Well, did you checked GB after you changed your resolution?
Which setting did you change to?
You & I have the same size iMac screen. My resolution setting is 1280x800. Everything fits perfectly in the windows & on desktop including the menu bar.
All info in my windows are showing. I did not need to adjust my browser font size settings. I am sure you are aware of the browser font size settings. I use FF & the settings are in Preferences>Content.
In the Finder window you can enlarge the icons & fonts also.

Help Viewer Font Size Way Too Small

Hello,
The font size of the adobe help viewer content is way too
small (it looks like a 4 pt or something). I can hardly read it at
all. Can someone please tell me how to enlarge it?
Thanks a lot!
Mike

Hi Mike
I recall that earlier incarnations of the help viewer had a
zoom setting that would allow for this. Sadly, it seems to have
disappeared and I'm unsure why.
Perhaps it will be helpful to know that you may view the
Captivate help as basic web pages? The URL is below:

Thunderbird **Main Screen** Font is WAY TOO small - and there are no provisions to change that text size!

I see lots and lots of complaints but NO suitable answer! Most answers don't even answer the question but instead tell how to increase MESSAGE font size - not the main screen "message list". Suggestions to change screen resolution are common but are ludicrous. One would have to change resolution every time they went in or out of Thunderbird! CTRL+ is also suggested but does not work on the message list. Creating and inserting CSS into the profile is a ridiculous suggestion for most users. And changing advanced settings is only an option for a guru - from my experience less than 10% of the folks I know would even look at the advanced settings - and less than 10% of those few would actually attempt such changes. This has been an ongoing complaint for a looong time.
It's time someone stepped up to the plate and provided a reasonable method of changing the size of the text on this screen.
Or do you want to limit you users to only programmer types?

I have recently made the switch in the last week to Thunderbird from Apple Mail. I have been a Firefox user for many years. Near enough from the beginning. So far I am impressed with Thunderbird but it is lacking something that I don't get with Firefox. Font size is a big issue for me too and it's straining my already short sighted and possibly making (damaging) my eyesight more by using Thunderbird.
Though I agree with everything you are saying. I am one of those users who would prefer to change things within thunderbird itself rather than go and install another third party addon. I by no means am a guru but I have a fairly good understanding of things and would like to learn more about the about:config side of things treading carefully. I have tweaked things in Firefox this way. and disabled some items for security reasons. I am having difficulty finding info within the Mozilla site on this side of things and have yet to go down the search engine route for research into this.
I would like to change not only the main message list as you suggest but also the From, Subject, Reply To, To and Route content along with the Reply, Forward, Archive btns along with any other content etc, above the main message content. As well as my folders.
I feel Thunderbird is lacking accessibility features for those with bad vision or using smaller screen sizes. What I would like is a + and - with percentage btn like in Firefox that zooms in and out the complete page in a more responsive web like way. This would greatly improve things for many users. I'm sorry Mozilla but being able to zoom in and out with a keyboard shortcut in the main message content is not good enough.

Tool bar fonts & navigation menus are way too small. Ctrl + isn't permanent.

My screen is about 50cm. Mozilla's 3.6 navigation, toolbar and bookmark font is 9 point or less and it is very hard to read it. With such a big screen I need 10+ fonts. Crtl + ++ refers to one page at a time. I need the larger font all the time on the above mentioned places and including the drop down menu items. It is a struggle to see my customized bookmarks tool bar words and icons. They are too minimized. Fonts on web sites are not much of a problem. Writers there know their readers, and customers.

At max screen size th fonts are far too small and there seems no way to correct this

OK you can move down to a smaller screen but what was th epoint of buying a 27 inch machie if yo have to return to the days of Windows 95?
UYou can move some of the windows up by zooming but then the text starts to mess up and merge together.
in Windows you can go to text size 72, in mac its 8 to 24 only whats going on here?
And dont tell me they might work on a future workaround i just laid out two grand to get text i cant read
Hmmm

There's a app, TinkerTool, that may be able to change the system's font size.
I've not used it so can't comment on how compatible or effective it is.

Fonts on the Guide are Way too small. How can I enlarge them?

We need to change the font for the guide so they are readable easier. How can we do that? Rosalene Walker

Sorry Ms. Walker but there are no adjustments nor have any been mentioned by Comcast. That being said, this issue is discussed quite often in this forum. If you use the search function at the top of the page you will find plenty of reading material on this issue.
We are hoping Comcast may add some color to the guide at some point but changing the font size is not likely.

Can someone help me? High Res. PDF's are WAY TOO SMALL

Hi All!
Recently I've switched computers and had to put all of the settings from my previous computer onto my new computer. This has gone well, apart from one problem. I've installed all of the same settings from my previous Distiller onto my new Distiller (same versions - CS3) on my new computer, which should mean that when a postscript runs through Distiller, it makes a low resolution pdf and then a high resolution pdf. The low resolution pdf's work fine, but my issue is with the high resolution pdfs.
The high resolution pdf's my old computer made were about 12MB, but the high resolution pdf's that my new computer make are more like 1.2MB. It doesn't seem to matter what I do, whether I export from InDesign or run it through Distiller, the results are always the same small pdf. Has anyone got any ideas?
Oh, and usually the postscript will be bigger than the end pdf - eg: 6.6MB. If someone could get back to me, it would be greatly appreciated!
Thanks!

Hi Murrayviews
What are you making your pdfs with? I had an opposite problem in that my magazines created in InDesign, when outputted, usually - say 2mb a page suddenly blew out to -say 10mb or more per page. My situation was caused by using my web offset printer's joboptions for Distiller which had changed from "Compression -jpeg auto" to "Compression-zip". An earlier size blow-out was caused by them supplying Creative Suite printer settings which changed the ICC profile from Web coated SWOP to ISO - which caused Photoshop to output immensely huge files (take the 100kb photo file turning into a 1mb file).
Perhaps food for thought - something must have changed to have caused such a drastic result for you.
Good luck with that and sorry not have been more help.

Icons and toolbar text is way too small and hard to read (kind of fuzzy)

The toolbars (menu bars) at the top of the screen have letters and icons and symbols that are way too small to read. Also the background color options are limited. Light black on grey is hard to read. I have tried customizing all that I can. There used to be a thing in control panel called display, and we could pick all sorts of fonts and colors for all those toolbar strips. Where did that go? I am VERY FRUSTRATED!!

I've tried those, and have just decided to go back to 3.6. Firefox just seems to have too much input lately trying to tweak and adjust. Meanwhile, the later versions just end up looking worse and worse with each iteration. Icons too small, monochromatic tool bar, making icons harder to distinguish, and, worst of all, frequent crashes.
Perhaps some of these problems are because I'm using XP, but I've noticed many if not all of the appearance deficiencies with my laptop running Win7. Probably the most annoying thing about later versions, though, is the inability to set memory time for history. This alone is a deal breaker for me, and ultimately, as IE has gotten better, I may just go back there.

The photos are far too small on Ipad ?

I have the same problem and cannot tackle it down yet. Using handbrake and itunes to sync movies and the subtitles are very small.
Hope someone could help.

Font in Menu Bar and Drop Down list way too small

I just tried PSE 10 and was very surprised to see that Adobe did not address the problem with the font size being way too small in the menu bar and drop down list. I cannot possibly read the font - so the program is basically unusable. I am using a new 17inch laptop. Is it possible that after all the complaints Adobe didn't fix this problem in PSE 10? Are they even working on it? I love the program but unfortunately I am going to have to switch to something else because there is no way I can read the font and thus cannot use the program at all. Very, very disappointing. Hopefully they are working on a fix???

Photoshop CS5 Essential has preferences that offer users the opportunity to adjust menu bar background color as well as font size. For example,
"UI Font Size
If you find that Photoshop's interface text is a little too small for comfort, you can increase its size by changing the UI Font Size option to either Medium or Large. And no, this option isn't just for old folks with poor eye sight. Working on a very high resolution monitor can make Photoshop's interface text appear very small. Personally, I like to set my font size to Large which I find helps to avoid eye strain. You'll need to close and then re-open Photoshop for the change to take effect:
Change the font size to increase some of the text in Photoshop's interface.

Reset the page zoom on pages that cause problems, make sure that the window is not maximized:
*<b>View > Zoom > Reset</b> (Ctrl+0 (zero); Cmd+0 on Mac)
*http://kb.mozillazine.org/Zoom_text_of_web_pages
If you have increased the minimum font size then try the default setting "none" as a high value can cause such issues.
*Tools > Options > Content : Fonts & Colors > Advanced > Minimum Font Size (none)
Make sure that you allow websites to choose their fonts.
*Tools > Options > Content : Fonts & Colors > Advanced > [X] "Allow pages to choose their own fonts, instead of my selections above"
You can use an extension to set a default font size and page zoom on web pages.

HT1750 The serial # is way too small to read!!!! Make it BIGGER!

The serial # is way too small to read!!!! Make it BIGGER!

You are talking to users like yourself, not Apple. Try here to talk to Apple. In the meantime, if you select About This Mac in the Apple menu and then select More Info, you'll find the serial number there too. And if that is too small you can copy it just as if you were using a word processor and then paste it into a text editor and make the font bigger.

How do I get my web pages back to original size? My fonts are all too large and keep reverting after I change them back!

That has not worked. I do it and still it reverts. Isn't there a way to tell Firefox to just go back to default settings?
