After many weeks using my HD2 without any issues, suddenly the fonts of all my start menu shortcuts and folders got very small. No system setting I try to apply seems to change them. I also tried several apps to control font size (ING Font Change, etc) and it changes the sizes of all the fonts on my systems BUT the ones in the start menu that stay small. Is there a way to fix this?... cab with stock fonts, reg mod, or how can the font size be repaired to its proper size again?
Screens attached. Thanks for the input!

The only fonts I've changed were in settings/, personalize/, font size/, Sorry thats all I've changed. It changes in some windows apps.

Correct, that changes some fonts in ceratin windows apps, tool and title bars but not where I needed it. There needs to be somewhere else where the info of these fonts is stored and can be changed!

1. Changing font style is not so straight forward (I assume you want to change the font not just the size - size is changed in settings\system\screen) - find the font you want and rename it tahoma.ttf and tahomabd.ttf and copy and paste into \windows directory on device using total commander or gsfinder file explorers, then soft reset.
You can also fiddle with the fonts with pocket tweak - enclosed
2. Media player skins - the skins are not software just files with images - see here http://forum.xda-developers.com/viewtopic.php?t=58398&highlight=
3. Dialers - try http://www.zombienexus.net/portal/ dialers are just images overwriting the default ones - so not really software.
p.s. when pocket tweak installs its found in settings not programs
thanks so much im going to have fun with my QTEK and skins

I changed the font following your instruction but it seems just become messy LOL
I renamed the font i like and I used total commander to copy in windows....now the problem is the font I used cannot correctly shown on PPC and it seems to read Arabian....in addition dunno why the fonts affect only some menu not all im quite confused on whats going on
ok i fomratted and use Pocket tweak but it chages all the fonts Except the today screen...why?
thanks Giordano

lol - told you it was not easy - pocket tweak only changes some of the fonts so not good for total change. If you want everything in arabic - then you need to use an arabic rom. I had success changing tahoma font to georgia font using method described. Perhaps you will have to try a few different fonts to get a nice effect. Remember you will need normal and bold versions of the font to make the change.
Do you always have to use a third party program to change the font style in WM5??
What is the Font option in the Settings/System menu for??
I'm an O2 Xda Atom Life user and I'm using the ROM Xda_Atom_Life_WM6_CHT_RC2140907B2. I have a problem with the Windows Live Today plugin, 'cause the fonts are too large and they use a lot of space of the Today page. How can I change the size of fonts of this plugin? I have checked the registry but I could find no way to do so.
I don't know whether this only happens in the CHT Atom Life or not, so I decided to put the thread here...
Thanks if anyone has ideas with it.

HKLM/Control panel/Stylus>96DPI....Current Font...I have large fonts and set at 1100. For smaller fonts, set lower than 1100...soft reset.
Thanks a lot^^!
But this will change some of the font size of the system at the same time...
Anyway thanks for the solution!

The hack should affect homescreen fonts only. There are other hacks for the system fonts.
Change Font for whole system
How do you change font size for the whole system?

No, I found that some font size of the system programs is smaller after hacking, e.g. Message Centre, Windows Live, words in Office Mobile programs...
But never mind, I love the font size after changing...
I've also found that the option of "Settings==>System==>Screen==>Fonts Size" changed after hacking... It seems that the registry hacking is not really necessary...?

Read my thread" Words and sentences large enough to be seen and read easily" this forum. The thread has the tweak and screenshots to change the system fonts.
I installed the hand.cab (handwriting cab) from somewhere on xda. However, the system fonts (soft keys, menu items etc) all seem to small (fonts within things like the SMS and email seem about right but that might be because I have large selected). I have gone into HTC Tweak and the Advanced Config software and changed the font to large but no joy. Although I didn't like the font that came with the HD that much, it was the correct size.
Any idea on how to make the 'system' fonts appear larger or is this an issue with the HD resolution.
try this one.
It worked on my HD
cool thanks mate
what is the font used in this cab? i would just like to install the font. thanks

Look in \Windows\Fonts and delete the font you don't want. There aren't that many to choose from most likely.

I only have 1 font in there and it won't let me delete it, any other ideas
Hi,
Even getting the user friendly keyboard(paid one) is not tough, but installing it on my HTC toudh diamond2 and getting worked is MUCH MUCH tough and it's annoying so much.
I have purchased and installed SBP keyboard full and it's working fine and I have forced to uninstall many other keyboards due to various issue which I have already posted in different thread (Uninstalled Resco, HappyTyping, TouchPal).
Now my font size is reduced for icons in all the screens. How to increase the font size for all the icons in Start Menu, Personl, System... even the Settings icons font is very small.
Please help on it.

Not resolved yet. Pls help.
arthurwork,
Thanks for your reply. I have alread have TD2 and now installed TD3. And in UI settings I have changed the default height and width from 800X700 tp 900X800.
Still it's same. the font is very small in my program screen, all settings screen.
After the installing TD3, only difference is the program has four icons in the row instead of three (even though Start Menu Icons per row is "3"). Now, I need to find out how to bring it back to 3 rows per row with the normal font size.
I have installed SIPchange.cab for defaulting the SPB keyboard and after that I am facing this font size issue. But unfourtunately I am not able to uninstall in SIPChange.cab. Whenver, I soft resetting the sipchange is running..i think this application is start running after every reboot. Do you have any idea what sip is for?
Please help to advice why the font/icon size is very small ONLY in All Settings, Programs.
Please help on this.
