Hi
I had this problem with my recent rom.
Go to the post where you download rom and probably you have news from your sms write problem.
Hope help your problem
Best Regards
sorry, but i do not quite understand what you mean. which post?
I thought I would bump your question. I too would like the text that you are writing to be bigger. I am using swype and there is no double tap on the small text to correct it. The email text is much larger and the double tap works.
So I figured if your sms text size would be bigger than the doubletap would work to highlight and correct using swype.
i posted this question on several forums already and have never got a satisfactory answer.
it seems impossible.
What about SPB Mobile Shell 3.5? Is it maybe possible to make fonts bigger in it?
I did a quick browse through the registry and tried a few modifications but came up empty. There has to be something in the registry that sets the size of that font.
disable htc sense then you have to edit messagingclientdll.dll.409(or your language code).mui under windows folder. first unsign it, then open with resource hacker, check keys 51,52 and 53 where you will see font names and sizes. increase the sizes, sign the file with a developer certificate, install sdkcerts.cab, replace the mui file. restart htc sense, you're all set.

Could someone please help me with that?
A lot of people are looking for that so it would be great if someone could edit this files and share them with us!!
Thank you!
try settings, in the settings menu go to "screen" and in there a tab at the bottom says text size, trying changing that to bigger and see if that helps??
@Subsx:
Thanks, but it only changes the font size for received message, not those you want to send. As though you do not need a better readability for what you write....very strange.
They probably think: you either read or you write. Consequently, If you write you do not read it anyway... so you do not need a better "readability"
have you reset the phone afterwards??
@Subsx:
I had this setting put to "largest" from the day i bought the phone some months ago and have resetted it at least 100 times since then.
does this setting change the font for writing on you phone? if so: which firmware do you have?
i have 1.66.405.2 WWE
@Subsx:
This is not working, especially not in the traditional mode. This is old.
The interesting thing is this:

Goal is to increase font size of writing and/or reading SMS.
I, too, have been trying to change the font size for the text when composing an sms. I'm really puzzled how the HTC engineer/managers can release such a major software and not realize that the font size is very small, esp for such a huge screen.
Is there any other sms application that one can buy / retrieve from anywhere that has bigger font size?
Thanks in advance.
I think I will go for the easier and quicker method.
I am going to hold my HD2 nearer to my face when I type messages. The text gets larger automatically if I do that.
Can anybody help here to get that finally fixed please!

cheers,
So no one managed to to this yet?!

i dont want to redo the app at all, all i want to do is customize the three hotkeys??? i want the text app to go to pocketCM threaded text messaging?? is that possible?
Not sure but does this help?
that edits the tabs and everything. I just want to edit the three little boxes above the tabs. The email, text, and missed calls
this program cannot edit those three tabs?? maybe a reg edit, to specify path to the PCM text messaging?? anyone have a clue how to do thisZ
It takes more than a simple registry hack to get this to point elsewhere. I hexedited the HTCHome.dll file to point to "fmail.exe" instead of "tmail.exe" and fmail.exe is a vjbrisk pointer to FlexMail. Even hexediting is insufficient as you need to digitally sign the dll file so it can run again. Even then, it will not go to the corresponding folders.
so...... dont even bother w/ threaded text messaging. Because i use that link a lot
maybe a mortscript can change the reaction to the tab? I want to use flexmail too, because poutlook suck so bad. Cannot display half of my email, only thing it display is the subject.

hi all, would like to ask if anyone have any experience editing thread_sms.htm other than just to change the size of the sms input box?
I experimented changing the other parameters in the file and it's corresponding css file but none of the changes took effect.
I am aware of the need to remove the system and read only attribute before editing.
Any one has any ideas to share?
if we can edit these 2 files, we might be able to do some minimal skinning for the sms app.
In file thread_sms.htm search the parameter height and set the value = 70 instead of 35 or 30 (not remember the original value). Restart pda and you will have a input text box for tree line text.
For change file you need to copy it in your PC and after recopy to pda, using resco explorer or total command.
erm. i think you misread my question. I know how to change the height of the sms box. I am asking if anyone has experience changing the other values?
Hmm. You tried changing which parameters? If it can be skinned with html, it will be marvellous!!
I've tried many roms and none have any special modifications that I am aware of. It would be cool to have it skinnable
You can customize font colors via the read_style.css stylesheet, and i've also seen someone put a background image in the sms view. It was just generic html code. I don't remember the details, but i saw the thread about it here, on xda-devs.
Try searching the forum for read_sms.html
I am looking to change the font size on the File Explorer and Outlook Email header displays.
Is there a registry key, initialization or configuraiton file where I could change the font size?
Thanks in advance

How to change Fonts on Touch Blackstone WM 6.5?
The font size in settings > screen ONLY affect the menu font size!
I have a couple of dictionaries installed: when I type a word, the size is OK, but the next dialog, with the results are shown in gigantic font which is too big and does not fit into any windows, resulting that I can barely chech the word meaning.
I have this problem with
SlovoEd dictionary
Lingosoft
While I have no problem (of gigantic font size) in
- SMS dialog
- email windows
- Word
- Excel
- Notes
Please help!
Saulo
I have tried without success to tweak with Advance Config (for blackstone) and WVGA Tewak
no success
Please help
after a search within this site, I came across this:
"Use Advanced Config and change the Popup menu font size under User Interface"
yes, that is OK, but ONLY for pop up menu font size...AdvConfig does NOT give you other options to modify the font size of programs like dictionaries.
The dictionaries themselves (Slovoed and Lingvosoft) do not have an internal menu to select and modify font size....unfortunately
Thanks and waiting for suggestions
Saulo

Is there any way to make the font size smaller in email?
When I type a message, I'm lucky if I can get 3 or 4 words to a line as the font is huge!
you can change the minimum text size in the settings tab on your device try that.

Its only for received emails...
Go to the settings tab, select Menu, All Settings, System, Screen and the Text Size tab. Changing the text size with the slider there affects input and output for emails.
Edit: Actually, I've just checked and they're the same thing. If that doesn't work, you may have a problem that can't be fixed with regular UI settings.
Surely there must be a registry hack or something for this?
I can't understand why they need the font to be so big.
i heard pinch to zoom works with text. try zooming out

You heard wrong! Afraid it doesn't work
Its really odd - if I reply to a message, the old message below what I'm typing is a normal sized font - but anything I type is JUMBO!
Similar situation in SMS too - the old messages are a decent size, but what I type is huge!
I also think that font in some apps is way too big. For instance in Pocket Outlook, Calendar etc., even in Opera Mobile. I have all settings set to smallest font but it is still too big. Is there a way how to make it smaller - may be some settings in registry? It is useless to have such a big screen but to see the same number of letters as on much smaller screen.
First off, y'all need to CHILL!!
Describe your problem in more detail:
1. Has the font always been *JUMBO* sized (i.e. since you ever first got it) ?
2. Did you use any tool to change your device's font size?
* Note: there are various utilities out there that can be used to change the system font properties to ANYthing you want. Some programs you might've installed change system font properties as part of their operation.... so, backtrack, and if necessary use Total Commander to find "\windows\*.ttf" then delete all files found, then restart your phone; this will restore fonts to their original states.
Cheers
In my case, this simple setting works. Open an email message, go to menu in lower left, view, text size. I use the smallest font size, which is readable and I get 24 lines of text on screen.
Yes, settings as well as multi touch zoom are working for me too but I still would like to have much smaller font. The question is if there is a way how to enable smaller fonts with registry settings or tweak app?
Easy:
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Microsoft\Inbox]
"RichEditHostFontSize"="10"
You can shrink the font for replying down to 2 nano meter.
I would like to shrink the font for reading, but the registry doesn't seem to remember the setting after a softreset.
I am trying here: [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Microsoft\Inbox] & [HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Inbox\Settings]
Maybe anyone has an idea here...
