Why is font amazingly small?

I just installed Thunderbird, but it's been a waste of time. Whoever is managing this gig is obviously sabotaging the whole deal. The UI font is a core component and I strain to read it, further I need to learn to find, install and learn to use an add-on, just to adjust font size. I can see why font size is prevented by default as UI is not responsively designed and looks worse when font is increased. The whole experience feels like I've gone back a few decades, from minority report to MS DOS. I just can't believe this isn't even a bug, feels like a joke.

Is the font too small in the interface, or the content or both? I had the same problem and solved it with settings in userChrome.css and userContent.css files.
http://kb.mozillazine.org/UserChrome.css
http://kb.mozillazine.org/UserContent.css
For userChrome.css:
<pre>/* Do not remove the @namespace line -- it's required for correct functioning and sets default namespace to XUL */
@namespace url("http://www.mozilla.org/keymaster/gatekeeper/there.is.only.xul");
/*most interface fonts - Trebuchet is easier to read*/
textbox,tab,window,wizard,page,dialog,prefwindow,statusbar,toolbar {
font-size: 15px !important;
font-family: Trebuchet MS !important;
/*Account menu page needs bigger fonts*/
#acctCentralHeaderRow {
font-weight: bold !important;
font-size: 180% !important;}
.acctCentralTitleRow {
font-weight: bold !important;
font-size: 160% !important;}
.acctCentralLinkText {
font-size: 140% !important;
font-weight: bold !important;
}</pre>
For userContent.css:
<pre> * {font-family: Trebuchet MS !important;
font-size: 15px !important;
}</pre>

  • Why are fonts too small in certain websites?

    In some websites, like Yahoo or any ran by Google, the fonts have become so tiny I can't read them. If I look at the sites using Internet Explorer, the fonts look normal. None of the solutions I've seen posted in FF solve the problem.

  • Why is the printed font so small on a print job I send from my email to my new HP Photosmart C510

    Why is the printed font so small on a print job I send from my email to my new HP Photosmart C510? I sent it via HP ePrint from a lotus notes based email account. It was just a text message but it was so small on the print out I could not begin to read it. 
    Thanks
    Matt

    At the document you plan to print, go to "file" in upper right corner.  Select "print preview".  Atop that window, select font size.  Recommended minimum 60%.  May need to adjust with different documents.
    Good luck!

    Kirby:
    . What version of OS X?
    10.6.8 - latest Snow Leopard.
    . How are you determining the size of the Vault?
    Using Finder: "Size 5.8 MB on disk".
    . What exactly did you do that you describe as "I decided to set up a Vault to back up to the Time Machine external hard drive.".  In general, Time Machine should be on a drive dedicated to it (that is, with nothing else on it).
    Oops, right: I meant Time Capsule. Time Machine is backing up to the Time Capsule, but I thought I could also use the Time Capsule as an external hard drive as well as a target for Time Machine. So, this is a non-no?
    . How many images show up when you select "Photos" from near the top of the Library tab of the Inspector and filter using the Filter Rule "File Status" with the argument "Referenced"?
    1. Thanks for getting me to learn Aperture's "filtering" (Command-F). Cool.
    2. No images. Aha. So, do this mean all the masters are in the iPhoto library?
    But, using Finder:
    iPhoto Library: 18.2 GB 8,014 items
    Aperture Library.aplibrary: 20.6 GB 7,945 which would be right: I did some deleting after importing from iPhoto
    Aperture Vault: 5.8 MB

  • FF 20, why are the toolbars too big and the toolbar font too small?

    A few days ago I opened Firefox and instead of the usual tabs and tool bars, the tool bars were three times larger and the toolbar fonts were twice as small. I looked for any possible reason why the fonts/tool bars were changed, I reset windows to Classic and then back to XP themes to see if there was a font problem. I uninstalled and reinstalled the latest Firefox. No change. Internet Explorer looks correct as do the programs I'm running so I believe I have isolated it to Firefox. Screen shots available.

    Are you using a custom theme?
    Start Firefox in <u>[[Safe Mode|Safe Mode]]</u> to check if one of the extensions (Firefox/Tools > Add-ons > Extensions) or if hardware acceleration is causing the problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Firefox/Tools > Add-ons > Appearance).
    *Do NOT click the Reset button on the Safe Mode start window or otherwise make changes.

  • N9 Font too small!!

    I received my N9 three days ago and i am so disappointed at the font size. The fonts are way too small and totally unacceptable! I sold my Nokia 700 because the font on that device was so small i just couldn't use it and bought the N9. I figured the N9 with its 3.9" screen the font size would be comparable to the iPhone 4 but boy was i wrong. The fonts on the iPhone 4 are so much bigger! i purchased both the 700 and N9 online so i had no way of knowing the font would be so damn small.
    Why are the fonts so small for SMS Messaging?
    Why are they so small on the missed call/sms lock screen?
    Why is the date on the lock screen so small?
    The software guys at Nokia know how to fix this but they refuse. It's not that hard for them to do it. This font size shouldn't even be an issue if they took the time to properly develop the OS for it. I've even heard the Lumia 800 has small fonts.
    I've been a loyal Nokia customer for years having owned a 6300 and C3-01 before because they build quality products except this font issue is driving me nuts! Am i supposed to sell my N9 and get an Iphone now?
    NOKIA PLEASE ADDRESS THIS ISSUE ON YOUR NEXT UPDATE! MAKE THE FONTS BIGGER! ITS GOT A 3.9" SCREEN FOR CRYIN OUT LOUD!!

    Please update to PR1.2 when available, it contains some changes to improve the readability of the UI texts.
    the fonts in pr1.2 are smaller than pr1.1.
    it is not so much that they are actually "smaller" as the css files in the device show them being the same, with exception to the lockscreens (those were made smaller), but the issue is more with the font style that they changed it to.
    someone go and grab a wp7.5 device and then hold your nokia n9 on pr1.2 next to it.  the fonts are closer in likeness now unlike the pr1.1.
    so the new fonts are a "thinner" look to them, making them seem smaller.  but they are more "crisp"
    I changed my fonts to script, and even with the settings in pr1.2, they are the same as pr1.1, so it is the font, and not the "size"

  • How do I change caps of an OpenType font to small caps in my InDesign cc document?

    Greetings, Community. It would be great if I could discover how to change caps of an OpenType font to small caps in my InDesign cc document. That's the simple question.
    To be more exact, I have an 18-page play that contains stage directions in caps in parentheses, which I would like to change to small caps. The font I'm using is an OpenType, Minion Pro, with small caps.
    Another thing is, I'd ideally like to be able to do that without changing all caps in the document, and also, to not have to convert the caps to lower case in order to do it.
    My source document (which I Placed in my InDesign document) is Microsoft Word 2011 for Mac.
    I did go to Microsoft to find out how to do it in Word, but could only find a solution for Word for Windows.
    I did try their solution anyhow (a macro) but it didn't work.
         Thanks a lot. It's great being in InDesign even though I had my good years with QuarkXpress, which eventually became impossible for me.

  • Arabic font become smaller in Pages' PDF in Yosemite

    It seems that Pages (5.5.1) in Yosemite has a bug that makes some fonts become small when exporting or making PDF.
    I have this problem, both in Adobe Arabic OTF font and a font that an OTF font that I've made myself.
    Does anybody has any solution or experience about this issue?

    First, Thank you Tom. Yes, it is a bug. Actually the only problem is that the glyphs are smaller, otherwise the correct instant of the characters are used.
    And then, thank you Jeff. At least now I know what causes it. The UPM of my font as well as Adobe Arabic fonts are set to 2048 due to complexity of the shapes. But there I have other TTF with the same UPM that works fine. So I guess this is something that happens to only OTF fonts in Pages.
    At least now I know what is the cause. I hope Apple would solve this. Thank you!

  • Font gets smaller and smaller each time I switch on laptop. Minuscule now. How do I customize it back to my normal font?

    Has any experienced this? All of a sudden, each time I turn on the laptop, the font is smaller. Getting to a point that I can hardly read it?
    How do I fix it so that it is customized? Thanks

    Topher,
    Thanks.
    This is in Finder. It is behaving like the smallest font is the default option!

  • Need help viewing photos on iPad , why is there a small timer in the bottom right corner

    why is there a small timer at the bottom right hand corner of photos that locks up and the photo won't get clear?

    Yes when trying to view photos, on some the timer goes all the way around and you get the clear picture, but on others the timer stalls and you never get the picture to come in clear. I have about 2500 pictures on the pad, don't know if that's too many for it?

  • Why do fonts display as blue, despite being red in live preview and in all the CSS rules?

    I've been trying for hours to figure out WHY the fonts for certain lines will not obey every command I have given them in Dreamweaver.
    http://www.johnnez.com/jonzmainbooks.html
    The titles to these books are supposed to be red in color.  They show red in every single place I can find them in Dreamweaver.  They preview in red in live view.  But they display in blue in the browser. 
    WHY is this?  Is this a case of some CSS being over-ruled by a lower rule?
    The tiles in blue that ought to be red are The 12 Days of Christmas in Washington, The Dancing Clock and Cromwell Dixon's Sky-Cycle, etc.
    Thanks for any clues...
