hi
I would like to know if can I change fonts size on the galaxy tab 7 7 with Honeycomb ? And how?
the fonts sizes are really small. I can't read it
There is a free app called Big Font for solving this problem.
However, I found that some app doesn't work well with Big Font, among which is the default Calendar app. You could still read the calendar with some other calendar apps, say Pocket Informant (paid), though.
thank you but I meant tthe system system font not apps
or does the Big Font do system font size?
A simple search would have found several threads that answer this question.

I wasnt being rude, just not ehuggy either. Lack of search is what flutters this forum and makes good info harder to find for others.

Have you tried Spare Parts?
Yes, bigfont will change the system font size. It doesn't work in Kindle and most readers but they have their own font changing ability.
It also won't change the startup screen or the text under icons but all in all, it works well.

Is there a way to increase font size when in VGA mode via a registry hack?
Its too small for me at the moment.
Sorry not really...
Please DO read my native VGA-related articles (they have been made sticky in many Pocket PC fora because it does have every info you will need), I have explained all these questions in there.
See for example http://www.aximsite.com/boards/showthread.php?t=98163 and use Ctrl-F to search for "font"
Yeah Menneisyys, I have in fact read that article as well as others, but there is no way, at least to my knowledge to increase font size of the top and bottom bars (where "Start" and soft keys are).

Yup, they can't be enlarged; there're a lot of other font types, however, that can be.
What is the effect of Calibri font... try it

Well I've had Universal on 96dpi since April and gone through 4 official ROM upgrades. I have played around a lot and truth of the matter is, yeah you can change the font sizes but the actual benefit is marginal. The stuff that really needs to increase is hardcoded (thanx Bill!). Only thing that made a difference for me was increasing font size through the UI settings.
Most ppl who see my Universal squint so I'd say that despite guides and directions, TruVGA does require 20/20 eyesight.

Agreed - there're a lot of individual apps where you can't increase the font size (for example, Messenger).
I'll bring up this question with the internal MS developers. Hope we/they'll be able to come up with something similar to, for example, the solution of the Sharp Zaurus, where zooming (font size changing) is hardware-based and has effect on all fonts.
Or you could explain to them Application Developement 101: How not to hardcode everything.
BTW, I've given up on PMSN. Switched to Live Beta which does allow SOME font resizing only still not large enough even at xtra large setting. Agile works fine. Anyway, point is WM still needs a lot of work, and I mean ALOT.
Hi, can't find it in search but is there any way to hack the font size in windows mobile 6? I use reading glasses and don't want to use them to use the phone! Or is there any application that would do that? Any help appreciated.
/menu start/settings/system/screen last tab? (and softreset).

There are a few settings I have played with in the past for the same reasons.
HKLM\System\GWE\MENU
1) popfnt
2) barfnt
adjust the Ht value in decimals
But you will have to adjust them to your liking, try 950 to start.
I know that there are others I just can't think of them at this time.
Thanks for response, will try them out.

yeah, but in some cases it may destroy softwares GUI..
sktools have nice fontsize change options.

Thanks for that - I also only just noticed the Clear Type - much nicer.
While we're on the subject, any way of changing the font colour ??

There are cabs that makes the changes in registry for you.. If you don't want that then its not possible =)
Icon size changer
I found a useful program: Co0kie.HomeTab_v1.5.4.cab
Simply copy the file to your SD card, run Windows Mobile Device Center, File management, and click on it to install it.

As stated above, use Co0kie's Home Tab. You can select 3x3, 4x4, 5x4 or 5x5 quicklinks on the home tab (amongst other stuff).
Incidentally, don't go for v1.54 - that's way old. There's v1.61 available now with much more options in it.
You'll probably want to look at the CHTEditor that helps you change the settings for it. You can get the link for that out of my signature. I've read that the author of that application is particularly handsome and smart, and all the ladies love him! lol

Keep an eye on that thread for news and updates
Hi there,
As my eyes are pretty poor and have fat fingers, I'm looking for an app that will allow me to change the Font and icon size of my desire... I thought that option would be under accessibility settings but that's greyed out.. Email is fine as the client will increase the font, but that's no use for the rest of the phone...
Thanks for any help.

Hi all,
I have that problem too. Anyone can tell us how to enlarge the Fonts? (I mean, not only some Apps, but the hole system)
Thank you!
There's an app named Font Size in the Market. It never worked for me, though...
Sent from my HTC Desire using XDA App
You can use "Spare Parts" appl. Search it in the market
I never manage to change the font size with SpareParts. If you can do it with this software please share .
But i doubt you could do that since Desire is not fully rooted (no rw /system, etc....).
And if my memory is ok i remenber of bug report about Android concerning the font size..
...2 mintutes later...
Well i found the thread concerning this bug report it is here. I don't want to discourage you but the thread started on Nov 06, 2009 and the last message was...yesterday ....and still no solution
Another way to change size of font (not really the size of the font) is playing with "build.prop" in /system and changing the "ro.sf.lcd_density" (by defaylt 240 on WVGA..210 is good value but fonts are more little. Maybe increasing the value may let you have bigger fonts).
Hope this help a little
at last I found a solution that works (for me anyway)
I downloaded an app called font changer and picked a font called chinese cat, it's a little bit cartoonish but it's a fair trade off as all the system fonts are just that little bit bigger and easy for me to read now
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=744363
But you need a rooted device for font changer as well..

You need to add to to nook: http://nookdevs.com/Tips_and_tricks#Install_New_Fonts
I'm not sure about Droid Sans Fallback, but none of the standard fonts have U02A4 (the dz) in them.
Offhand some of the DejaVu fonts have it, but neither a plain serif or sans serif.
Arial Unicode, Lucida Sans Unicode, Microsoft Sans Serif have it.

oh...I'm afraid i'm confused a little bit. What shall i do exactly? Shall i add new fonts in the way ApokrifX said? There are so many information i can't follow due to my incompetence i guess. Maybe there are some flashable files/ROM's that include above mentioned unicode fonts...Besides, can i read languages like arabic in case unicode fonts are installed? I think i can but i just want to be sure once again
There's a lot of info on that link, but a lot is particular to the Nook color.
Personally, I'd try to "hijack" a font.
There's a list of 6 fonts in the Reader.
Pick one that you don't like.
Copy over your special font onto the same name in /system/fonts

Thank you for the tip, Renate, i will give it a try tomorrow! I am going to replace one of the fonts with "iberation fonts" from above mentioned instructions... it is unicode font as they say. Hope it resolve the problem!
Unfortunately it does not work...i added Liberation Sarif font (which is Unicode), but it did not help. Seems GoldenDict uses its own font that should be replaced with another...
IPA symbols in fonts are rare.
Ascender Sans has a bunch of IPA symbols, but only the ones used in English.
If you are dealing with another language half the symbols aren't in there.
Im dealing only with english...maybe its goldendict issue after all...
Maybe the font in my nook which Goldendict referring to lacks all this symbols you mentioned... But i cant figure out which font it is...
Liberation doesn't even have a schwa U+0259
DejaVu fonts seem to cover a lot of the IPA.

Is there a problem to check, if symbol exists in a font using MS Char Map?
Or ppl waiting for Renate to port it to nook?
I thought that I mentioned it, but apparently I didn't.
DejaVu fonts cover the full IPA character set.
