[Q] change the font used when composing/sending email? - Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I have been thinking about this question for a while now -
I have stock Froyo, and if I send email from the Sense email app, the received email appears with a strange font (some form of Serif, I think), which looks nothing like the Arial font I'd like to see.
I'd like the font used to send emails to be the same as the font I use on Outlook desktop - so that it's not obvious when I'm sending from my mobile
I installed Arial on the phone via FontChanger, but of course it just renders everything in Arial, doesn't actually change the font used to compose and send email.
So, is there a way to change this font?

Hey,
I have a rooted DHD so it's pretty easy to change the font using CWM. I was looking at how to change fonts before i rooted and ran across this site. Might help you out.

Thanks for the idea, but I think that just changes the font that you see on the phone.
I guess the font actually used by the mail app is embedded (or at least referred to) within the app.
I was thinking of going to that folder - if accessible on the device - and pasting the renamed Arial fonts, or something similar.
I have been googling this on & off over the last couple of weeks, the question has been asked on various fora, but not answered

Pleas fix this global failure of Android email font setup
This question appears all over internet, but no one have working solution. How hard it can be to make mail app that defines font?
For example:
Email tipe <>HTML <>plain text
Font type <> Calibri
I am willing to donate if someone can fix this. from my point of view there are lot of folks in here xdadevelopers forum that seek answer for this issue.
it would be grate gift to Android Os users for Christmas

Chinese Characters on TMobile Dash
Hi everyone,
I have in my possession an unlocked TMobile Dash which I'm trying to get some use out of in Shanghai, CN. I can't get it to display any Chinese characters except in ClearVue applications and internet explorer (so no SMS, menus, network warning messages, etc.)
I once had hopes of flashing the dopod ROM, but obviously I didn't act quickly enough.
Can anyone help me?
Thanks!

just copy a chinese font into windows dir.
You can try to install the CE-STAR.
It's the great software for you.
I had heard that CE-Star works well on the Dash for Chinese. I personally am using the Dash in Japanese (SMS, e-mail, Web, not menus, though).
~Cheers~
what about Korean? what software or what can i do... so that my dash could read korean as well????
thanks,

There are lots of free solutions for PocketPC edition (or palm os) on the web, but next to nothing for Smartphone.
I'll keep you up to date if I manage to get anything working (haven't experimented yet).
use CE-STAR
It supports most Asian languages.
Incoming call screen font size
Is there any way to increase the font size of the calling number and name on the incoming call screen? This is for the Rogers WM6 ROM. I've looked through the registry but couldn't find an entry for this.
I did change the system font to "large" in the accessibility settings, and while it changed other screens, it had no effect on this one.
Any help is appreciated.
Is there really no solution for this?
If you can find out how to change the colors to white that'll be great too. Sesinger, do you know how to change the colors of the home screen test to black? I've got some pictures I want to use as wallpaper that are too light for the white text. Thanks

To-Do List Font Size
Hey everyone, searched for 20 minutes so it's not on the forum or I'm blind. Regardless, I'm wondering how I can change some of the fonts - most importantly my "to-do" or "tasks" when I'm entering them in on the phone. Running the HTC Rom and wm6. I want to make the font smaller so I can see more on the screen when entering and scrolling...
Also, I'm wondering if there's a way to change the font size in the text messages. Size that I'd prefer would be "small" or "smallest" if your viewing any text in your pop.mail.
Any one have any places, programs, or instructions to modify this? Tried SK Tools and it wont change the font sizes on those, just menu, system font, and a couple others.
Thanks ahead for any help.

a good way to use a different font size is to use a program called xtreme text.
it is a threading sms app.
the do to list or tasks can be changed only through using a xtreme agenda.
Ive searched and cant find a precise answer i am looking for, SO i'll do it with a thread

Change Fonts
There are any software that allow to change the font?
font too small for me
Any idea how to increase font size, changed to segoe but too small. Accesibility setting doesn't have increase font option like other roms. Help. Thanks,
Dave
Haha, yeah after not being able to find how to change it I found both those programs. Been using for a while now.
Changing size of system font for WM 6.1?
In the original Chinese build of 6.1 the system font was significantly smaller and I think looked a lot better in text messages, menus, etc. However, now in the WWE version of the 6.1 ROM the system font is a lot bigger. Anyone know a reg edit or something to make it smaller again?
I would like to know also. I have tried editing the read_sytle.0409.css and changing the fonts there doesn't seem to affect anything. I would desperately like to reduce the font on the threaded sms conversations.

Looking to understand i18n

I'm looking to understand something about internationalisation and fonts on Windows Mobile 6 (mine is a HTC Touch Cruise). The practical problem is that my user interface is European but when I receive e-mails and text messages in Hebrew I only see squares. I don't need to write in Hebrew or to change the MUI.
I'm not looking for a commercial product - I'm a software developer myself (but not on Windows Mobile) and feel very comfortable modifying registry entries, swapping files and the like. What I'd like to understand is the mechanics of the problem.
I've read about changing the system font and have changed it to one that supports Hebrew with the following results: the popup notification when a message arrives is now in Hebrew characters (but backwords), but when I open the messages they're still only squares. Is there a system font that isn't covered in the above link? A system default codepage issue?
Many thanks for pointers, explanations and suggestions

[Q] change font size?

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.

[Q]Gmail Text Size (Post Root)

Hey guys - Just want to say this forum is awesome and I appreciate the community and everyone's hard work.
I recently flashed to SB Rom and everything is great - except I can't change the text size in the Gmail App. Stays on normal no matter what. I followed the instructions to a T. I'm wondering if anyone else has had this problem, and what can be done to fix it. Thanks a bunch.
*edit* I might be worrying about nothing. I was almost certain that before I rooted when I changed the font size in settings it would change the everything in the app - inbox and messages. The settings DO change the messages, but leaves the inbox text size alone. I'm probably just being stupid and thought that it changed before, but really never did. Sorry!

[Q] Change Font Text size in Mail, (composing of message)

Greetings,
I'm sorry in advance for such an idiotic question, i've been mashing buttons for days and must have having a very special moment.
How can i change the default font or text size (its 12, and i'd like it to be 10) when composing an email in the Mail app (exchange)
I have searched but i can only seem to find results relating to the display on the device itself.
Any threads or comments to put in the right direction would be most appreciated.
Thanks
