Why is the font on my email very small?

Since installing os x maverick, my incoming email has extremely small fontl. It is small when I print it out. This message has very small font. I manually enlarged it. It seems the default now is 10pt or smaller.

One thing to try:  Mail, Preferences, Fonts & Colors, Message Font. 
You may have to quit and relaunch Mail to get the new font choice to take consistently.

  • Why is the font size for hot links smaller than other text on some web pages

    On some web sites, the hotlinked words and some words in colour appear in a smaller font than they were designed to be.
    When the web master changed the colour to black on one title at the website noted below, it appeared in the correct size.

    That site is designed that way: font-size: x-small;
    <pre><nowiki> A:link { font-family: Verdana,Tahoma,Arial,Helvetica,Sans-serif,sans-serif; font-size: x-small; color: rgb(0,51,204); font-weight: normal; font-style: normal;}</nowiki></pre>

  • In mac osX 10.6.8 Gmail continually reverts the font size to a very small one. . I'll enlarge the text and it will reduce it. This is a recent development and is not a problem in Chrome

    In the past, I've always been able to use the touch pad to enlarge the text to a comfortable viewing size and it would remain that way. Now in '''gmail''', it is consistently reverting to the smallest size as I type or after. It wants to be the smallest size.
    I've begun using chrome which does not exhibit this issue. I've looked through preferences and have not spotted a remedy.
    I too had the crashing upon closing firefox. My screen would go to the blue screen. That appears to have been remedied.
    Thank you for your assistance.

    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)

  • Is there a way to change the font color for emailing and the signature?

    Is there a way to change the font color with email signature on the iPhone and iPad?
    I changed the color in Word on my laptop, emailed and copied to my signature, but it converts it back to black........

    Looks like you didn't get a reply on your post, but it is still a problem.  Font size is supposedly changeable via "Accessibility" in Settings, but it doesn't work.  You can turn on "Zoom".

  • I updated my iPad to 7.0.6 but I find the new look very irritating.  In mail I can no longer swipe left on a message to erase it.  The font in calendar is so small I can't read my appointments.  I happen to like the yellow paper that was in notes.

    You have to swipe from right to left to delete mail.
    In the settings, accessibility you can make fonts bolder, that helps a bit.
    THe yellow paper...sorry, no tweak for that unless you find a different notes app to use.

  • Why is the font of text fields different from document-text

    I am using forms in my pdf.
    I am inserting Text-Fields in the pdf-form.
    I set the color and size of text as the same as the document text as calibri 9.
    1) Why is the font different between the text-field and document content eventhough both are black font of size 9 and of type calibri. The font in the text-field is more gray and blurry. It doesnt look the same as the text in the rest of the document.
    2) why do the document-text font options differ from the text-field font options.
    One has only sizes with even numbers like 8, 10, 12. The other has odd numbers also. Why does the calibri font have 2 different size ranges for the text-fields and document-text/content.

    Yes you are correct, it is with the setting of the properties.
    Where do i report this then if it is not with the SDK but the manual setting of properties.
    Also, how do i alter this ussue with the SDK, what are the commands, does it have to be done only by Javascript?

  • Why does the content of my emails not show on the main Mail page but does in the Inbox list of all emails?

    Try a Reset [Hold the Home and Sleep/Wake buttons down together for 10 seconds or so (until the Apple logo appears) and then release. When the screen goes blank power On again in the normal way.] It is absolutely/appsolutely safe!

  • I am trying to change the font on my emails and I keep following the instructions exactly by going into preferences, fonts and colours and then choosing - then when I go out of that and back to the message it reverts to Helvetica - what step am I missing?

    I am trying to change the font on my emails; I follow the instructions exactly going to Preferences, Fonts & Colours, then I set the preference - I then go back to my message and it reverts to Helvetica. What step am I missing?

    There is a display bug, but it still works okay -
    I prefer Arial to the default Helvetica, so that's what I set -
    When I first open a new message window, it displays Helvetica as the font -
    However, as soon as I type the first character, it switches to showing Arial as the font -
    ...and actually enters in Arial.

  • Why are the fonts so small since I upgraded? I have difficulty reading folder names even when I wear my reading glasses.

    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

  • Why are the graphics/page in facebook suddenly smaller font and images? Is not happening in IE and screen resolution is correct.

    Why are the graphics/page in facebook suddenly smaller font and images? Is not happening in IE and screen resolution is correct.

    I heard back from Nike+ support and they said that there will be newer pics soon and it also appears that this corrected itself for my runs, but not the user pic, I only get girly options, I wouldn't mind a picture of a guy on 'ROIDS!!! Just kidding, but something less feminine or cartoon like, I'm trying to be serious about this and the site should reflect that.

  • Is it possble to change the font of incoming emails?

    My thinking is that on long email conversations, i'll be able to see what i have written by the font...

    No, that's not possible.
    how odd, apple dictionary doesn't recognise the word 'distinguish'...
    side topic reply. i'm not doing well on the 1st time explanations today, am i?!
    it's in this box i'm typing in now, i wrote distinguish but this box that i'm typing in now, can't recognise the word.
    in fact, ignore me, the apple dictionary doesn't kick in in this box, it's the spell checker for the apple website, and it finds it fine.

    The system is back up and fully functional. How long has it been since you stopped receiving notifications? Can you share your form with us so we can have a look into what might be going wrong?

  • Why icons  and text on photoshop are very small, (i checked edit preferences interface)

    why icons  and text on photoshop are very small, (i checked edit>preferences>interface)

    In summary:
    1.  You have a "high dpi" screen.  The advantages to this are that things that are painted on the screen in a reasonable size will be made up of a lot of pixels, and will be very crisp and clean looking.
    2.  Photoshop has not yet embraced "high dpi" operation.  It's complex to do so, in that Adobe has to rewrite the software for all the controls on the screen to be able to use more pixels.  That's not to say it's impossible, it's actually fairly straightforward for a given control - but there are a HUGE number of controls in many, many different places in the application.
    Adobe has said they're working on it, and have made some noise about Microsoft not having supplied everything they need to succeed at the full reimplementation.  But the current version does not have the ability to size itself up to be a reasonable size on your "high dpi" display.
    That said, if you really, really want Photoshop to be "magnified up" to where all the controls (AND the pixels in the image you're editing) are much larger on your display, there is a workaround/hack...  It's a bit geeky and requires registry editing, and one day when Photoshop really does gain "high dpi" support you'll need to remove the hack, but here it is:
    http://forums.adobe.com/message/5962765#5962765
    I can't vouch for its performance, but it might make it usable for you in the interim.

    Hello chrispyw,
    If your content is still being displayed incorrectly, I would check the resolution setting for the built in display with this article:
    OS X Yosemite: Adjust your display’s resolution
    If it keeps happening whenever you use AirPlay then I would use this section of the following article to reset the display system:
    Apple computers: Troubleshooting issues with video on internal or external displays
    Reset the system
    You can reset the Mac's parameter RAM and SMC.Reset the resolution
    Start by resetting the Mac's parameter RAM. If the display does not come up, was previously set to an unsupported resolution, and still results in no video:
    Start up in Safe Mode.
    From the Apple () menu, choose System Preferences.
    Choose Displays from the View menu to open the preferences pane.
    Select any resolution and refresh rate that your display supports.
    Restart your computer.
    Thank you for using Apple Support Communities.
    Regards,
    Sterling
