The wife has a problem reading her contacts on her htc wildfire s. All attempts to increase the font size have failed. Although apps exist to increase the size of the sms text or browser text none seem to enlarge the font size in the contacts page.
When looking for a replacement mobile there appears little information regarding the font size in contacts.
Can anyone suggest a solution.

If your rooted, you can try apps like absolute system root tools to change the system font to something easier to read. But without root. You can't touch system files

Hi there. Just received my HTC One X today and it's a really nice phone!
One thing that really bothers me is the gigantic fonts!
I have set the font size to "small" in the settings but when I opened up apps like Email or Messaging, the font is still sooo big. I cannot zoom out.
Have you guys experienced this?
I used to own a Galaxy Nexus and the fonts are much smaller when you set it to "small", but on the One X small is actually Large on the Nexus.
Is it a One X issue or is it something to do with the HTC Sense? Is there a solution? Or is there a setting somewhere else that allows me to decrease the font size?
Thanks in advance!!
Push
Please HELP!!!
None of you thinks the fonts are too large?

The font size in the email app is too big...I wondered if I were the only one who is annoyed by this. Changing the font size in Mail Settings doesn't do anything at all. This and some other bug definitely should be fixed!
Not sure about the email app, as I only use gmail, but you can change font size in the htc sms / messages thread view by using 2 finger pinch and what ever the opposite gesture is called - just like to can in google maps and gallery.
Found out by accident
Yes there are more of us who are affected with this bug... I think it is a shame that phone of this calibre can't render HTML e-mail readable...
I was hoping this OTA update would have sorted this, but it looks like not enough people are complaining about it.
Probably the only thing that annoys me about the phone.

You can use pich-to-zoom in email, but you can't zoom-out to a reasonable size..
Setting font size in Mail Settings to small helps a little if there's a plain text email, but if it's html or smth, it doesnt do much..
I just hope HTC would fix this

I have noticed the same issue with the Font size not staying Small when you set it to Small.. it's very annoying and for sure a software problem that they should fix. I posted a message on AndroidCentral as well and I also opened a support case on HTC's website.. Maybe if we all do that it will get attention. Its quite annoying the font is HUGE
I agree, font size is way too big. It is definitely a Sense thing. In pure ICS the font size is changed throughout the user interface. A solution for now, until HTC fixes the problem, could be to use a different launcher e.g. Apex. Unfortunately we'll lose the HTC widgets...
the first thing I do every time I install a ROM is change LCD Density to 280. This helps. I then change fonts to small also.
LCD density modder pro is a couple of quid - well worth it tho - it fixes thye market too.
I have this problem as well. I can pinch-zoom to make it larger but it won't go any smaller and its still massive.
Any ideas? http://elektro.c0.pl/
There have been 3 updates already since I bought the HOX but none of them solves the front problem...
It's been a month & a half and I've started to give in and am less bothered about it now...
Still hope HTC would add a "tiny" option to the font size tho.

There's a mod in the development section that installs smaller fonts via cwm

the large(r) font was a plus for me when i chose the OneX over the OneS.
Font size changes randomly
I've also had the font size issue, but for me it seems to be random. I'll open a text and the font will be tiny, and then without leaving the messaging app I'll open another text and the font will be large. I can even go back to the first text and it will still be tiny. I've tried resetting the fonts and the pinch-to-zoom, but when the font is big there's nothing I can do to make it small.
The default size is very large, but I'm fairly happy with it on small, then again, not everything adheres to this "small" policy. I'm interested in changing the DPI of the screen to see what more I can get out of the 720p screen. That would, of course, require root though.

Take a screen shot and post it and lets see.

I definitely have the font size switching [1.88 Stock]. It's particularly egregious in the default SMS messaging app, but as pointed out, pinch-to-zoom works great.
Also, as the lesser of two evils, I've set System Font Size to Small (which is just a bit too much space for me), so that the SMSes I get aren't ginormously sized at time-zero (maybe 10 or so lines per screen).
But what I'm trying to figure out now, is whether HTC's default Mail app has configurable font size for replies. It's currently set to 'Small', but when I look through my work email at my desktop, I can see that HTC mail reformats not only my mail but also the preceding mail header in the chain to Arial size 12pt. (yes, horrifying)
Besides switching to a third-party app, has anyone found a workaround for a stock phone?
Hi guys, had my One X since release day and have been bugged by this annoying issue. I find the don't size in the SMS app too large, I set it to small and it looks good. But more often than not, when I go back to the SMS app, the font size is reset. Also if I change the font size in the display settings to small it changes most except the SMS app font. But sometimes after using the phone for a while or rebooting all the fonts are really small.
Is this a common issue and is there any known fix for it? It's not a deal breaker but is very annoying. Cheers

This is a bug with the messaging app which HTC have not fixed as of 1.28.xxx.x
You can do 2 finger pinch on messaging app to reduce font size even further, but it will still re size itself every so often.
Thanks for the tip about pinch zooming. Looking for an alternative messaging app in the meantime.
font size
Has this bug been resolved- i received a Multimedia message and the font size changed to large ...very annoying!!
After trying a couple of font apps, then removing them, my default font , when selected, uses a font that appears like one from one of the removed font apps. I have restarted phone to no avail. Anyone else had this issue. Using Telstra 7105T
Hi
My htc One has just been upgraded to Lollipop and I note that all the descriptive text (such as the snippets of emails , unread counts on icons, etc) is showing up as outline only as on attachment. I cannot find a setting which allows me to modify this although I have tried a number of different fonts and also looked for some means of editing on both Android settings and my Nova launcher as well. I'm sure there's a setting I can use SOMEWHERE, but so far I'm unable to find it. Any ideas out there?
Thanks
