So I changed the "adaptive zoom" to 100 because I didn't like how images were stretched out on mobile sites and the like to compensate for the much higher resolution on the TP2. However, the font size also changed so the font in general for a lot of sites is very small. I've tried manually changing the value in User Prefs (Minimum Font Size) and such, but the changes don't stick if I change the text level under Display Settings to something else and go back.
What have you guys been doing about the font size? I prefer mobile sites for a lot of websites liek Google Reader and such because they load faster and such. Thanks for the help in advance.

I've got pretty bad eyesight, so I got an XDA2s in order to make PDA and phone usage easier. I copy text messages to Word and increase font size. How can I make the icons and general font bigger like in Windows Desktop versions (Resolution, icon size & windows font)???
Any suggestions would be much appreciated.
Thanks in advance,
Martand
PS, I set the font to large from the default medium but most of the standard writing on the screen remains small.
Hi all,
The Manila interface is great, I like it very much but I have a small problem; the font size is too small and thin which makes it hard to read messages in SMS tab especially under sun light or day light, bright conditions.
Is there a way to change the font size or perhaps make the font italic, underlined or bold option for SMS tab?
Thanks in advance.
Try:
Settings -> System -> Screen -> Text size
That only changes the text size in native Windows Mobile dialogs; like sms inbox etc. not in Manila interface. So I am still trying a solution.

aegeuss,
just wondering if you ever figured out how to change the font size per your request? I'm still looking for the answer.

i have seen a mod in which ther's a button to increase or decrease font size in message tab..
i haven't found it in the net anyway...
No unfortunately not; there are two similar threads as http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=539091 and http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=471604 but the method in these threads change the system fonts completely. There's not an easy way to play with the manila interface fonts (size, color etc.) as afar as I know.
It's good one way that the new manila interface develops with each version but it reduces chances to tweak it for power users. May be that's the way HTC wants it, who knows.
Regards.
thanks for that info.
Personally, i think that it sucks that so much work has gone into making such a nice interface (i.e. the manilla interface) and yet no provisions were make to allow for the (seemingly simple) capability to alter the system font size. I understand that changing the font-face might not be so easy (who knows what fonts each of us might have installed) but the font size... really?

p.s. sorry for ranting.
Hey all, I read over the forums a bit, and I saw quite a few threads about changing just the SMS font size, but not changing the rest of the System font sizes. I have figured out a way to do it for the tilt 2 for AT&T.
The font size is not really the issue when it comes to the SMS font. The issue relis on the zoom of the screen. The SMS screen for texting carry a different setting for zoom, and it saves it when you change it. If you want to change the size of the SMS font, simply increase or decrease the zoom of the screen. This will only affect the SMS texting screen, and not the rest of the system.
Hope this helps everyone ^_^.
Font Zoom
Thanks for that tip to increase the font size in my text messages. I don't even know how I reduced them--just, one day, I couldn't even read them without my magnifying glasses. This fixed it right up. I selected a text, scrolled the zoom bar and, BAM! Back to readable.

I have a verizon phone that is unlocked, using with at&t. My zoom bar does not work with sms. Do you have any idea how to get it to work. I am to the point that I need reading glasses to see the small SMS text size and yes I have it set to the largest size in wm6.5.
Does anyone know how to change font size? I can't seem to figure it out or find an answer.
Not Sure If It's The Same With Windows But Try A App Called Spare Parts!!

in the 7 weeks i've used my Mozart, i have not found a way to change the font size, except for zoom-in and -out with email, web pages, etc. i would really like to increase the font size of the text message app. its one of the few frustrating things i don't like with WP7.
aslo here very frustrating that you can't change the font size
I would presume, currently, it is not possible. The UI has been locked down a lot to provide the same polished user experience to all users, allowing users to change the font size could result in a few quirks with the UI, i.e. text not fitting correctly.
I purchased a Samsung Galaxy Tab S 8.4. When I looked at it in a store it just had the right size feel for a tablet - not too big, not too small. Well, I am finding there are significant challenges to readability when I use a tablet (I believe a 10" would have the same issue). My social connectivity apps all present me with eye strain (Gmail, Facebook, Twitter, etc.). I find the font sizes to be really tiny, and hard to read for any extended period of time :crying:.
In KitKat, I have gone to Settings > Display > Font > Font Size, and picked Extra Large. And, I have also looked in Accessibility > Vision > Font Size (this is the same setting, so also Extra Large).
But, there doesn't seem to be any real integration with Gmail or Facebook for these font changes. And, not to help things, neither Gmail or Facebook have Text Size or Font Size settings in their Android Apps!! Uugh! The change in the Android system font size does have *some* benefit for using the Web browser. But, it has mixed results. Many headlines, or sidebar items, or other specific screen elements, do not display any difference due to the system font change, and are still tiny, tiny, tiny!
Anybody know of better solutions for this 58 year old who want to enjoy reading on this thing? Is an iPad Mini any better for scalability?
on any page, you make triple click(tap) and you'll get magnified but fully functional page! enjoy! triple tap return magnification back!

Once rooted, you can install Xposed Framework and App Settings. This module permit you to set a custom DPI value for a specific application. This might help you with readeability.
Note that my device is still not rooted and I didn't try the App Settings module on this tablet.

What he means by this (as you may not know what a custom dpi does) is that you can on an app by app basis blow up or shrink the entire interface of the app by making it think it is on a larger or smaller display through changing its dpi.
Take a look at an app called Big Font on the play store, I've found it to be useful
