Anyone noticed how in ICS, some apps (I suspect its got something to do with the in built browser?) are rendering fonts small despite setting system fonts to large.
Examples include rdio, and national australia bank.
I tried changing the font size in system and font size (accessibility) in default browser, but nothing seems to affect certain apps like the ones above.
Anyone know of a fix, or found a DPI that doesn't break anything? reading old threads apparently changing DPI breaks things
I was hoping the fonts issue would be solved in ICS. System fonts are way too small such as under icons etc. It's slightly better in some apps that respond to the ICS changing font size option. User sk806 in the development section was working on this issue for HC but found it very complicated to change the font size at the system level.
Thats the bit I don't get: how do we fix the apps that don't obey the system setting? Must be some kind of built in library or browser.

This is my first post and hopefully it raises an interesting issue.
I am partially sighted and have just got an XDA II. I really like it but I find some of the fonts in some of the applications to be rather small. I know about increasing Font size in Contacts/Calendars/Tasks etc. but I'm thinking more on the SMS/Email inboxes and on the Today screen.
In comparison I have used an SPV E200 which has accessability features available from the Settings menu. I had a large font homescreen set abd large fonts were used throughout the system - it made reading SMS's a breeze.
Is there a awy of increasing the font size througfht out all the applications as the smartphone seems to allow.
At a bare minimum I want to be able to create and read sms and emails using a larger font.
If the system font cannot be increased in these applications, has any one got suggestions for PPC PE applications that I can download and use.
I look forward to the responses.
Regards,
Mike
Yeah you can change everything, font sizes, colors,,, everything..
Download Nyditot Virtual Display (http://www.nyditot.com)
It has an appearance option much like the one in Windows 2000/XP
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!
This may be a nitpicky thing from someone who barely posts, but I was wondering if there was a way to change the size of fonts in places like the settings menu from the smaller style like mikrom's uses back to the bigger size of the stock sense 1.0. I've tried font changing apps and lcd density but they make the buttons and borders way too big as well which makes everything ugly and overlap.
Any help would be great, thanks.
Not nitpicky at all. I interested in this also.
Which of the various Roms may be better for increasing the Font size across the board (specially in some apps), without increasing the DPI from 213?
The various available Font increase Apps do not work so well with stock 4.2.2.

Does the stock font size option not work well enough for you?
Settings > Display > Font size, or Settings > Accessibility > Large text
Hello,
I've been using Nova Launcher for well over a year, but one thing missing for me is being able to control the fonts within the launcher more. There is no option to change the font size, which I find makes the fonts smaller than the system fonts and giving a not very fluid layout throughout the rom.
Can anyone recommend a similar launcher which has the option to change the font size and type?
It's a little frustrating when installing a launcher it also changes the font (often reducing the size) on the homescreen, while the system font in settings, dialer and contacts remain the same.
Anyone know where I'm coming from on this?
Thanks.
