The default font size is too small for comfortable reading. I'm stock rooted and I've left the LCD density at 213, the default. Is there a way to increase the font size without changing the LCD density which makes the keyboard too large?
Thanks

I've tried that in the past and didn't think it was very effective.

There are a few apps in the market to change font size. They work well, the main reason i sometimes don't use them to increase font size is there will be things here and there that don't fit in the space allowed, if you know what i mean. But it is sort of mainly a cosmetic issue. Check the market, there is a paid font size app and a free one.

Is their anyway to make the font bigger on this? It seems awkwardly small to me. My nexus s has the sane screen size and the font and icons are much larger.

that's because the nexus s has a lower resolution.
So its not possible? There is no hack or market app or anything? ??

Unfortunately, this is an example of Android fragmentation.
When iPhone 4 jumped from HVGA to Retina, it was easy- you just make icons twice as big.
On Android, you have HVGA, WVGA, QVGA, qHD....etc. Icons won't re-size to look bigger on a qHD screen.
You can use Desktop Visualizer to make the buttons look bigger. Basically change then into small widgets.
can try change density in system\build.prop
If you are rooted you can try changing the system font to a custom font that is easier to read. The easiest way to do this is to look for an app on the market called font installer.

I bought ADW Launcer EX - it lets me make the icons and fonts as big as I want. Gives it more of a Captivate Touchwiz look, but fills the spaces better - and a lot more options then the stock launcher.
The free version doesn't have this - but the paid version is worth the $3

Scrap the Samsung JellyBean or ICS and install Paranoid Android 2.54 - completely new tab!
What does DPI mean and what does it do? I've seen it thrown around quite a bit and would like to now what it is all about. Also, what's a good DPI number for a tablet UI instead of the phone UI? Someone said 160 but that makes the display all weird...

DPI stands for dots per inch. Changing the DPI in android doesn't change anything physically with the screen nor does it output at any different resolution. By telling android that your screen has a lower DPI, you are actually just making it think your screen size is bigger and 'tablet sized'. Therefore it will display the tablet interface. The DPI to get tablet interface will differ on each device but 160 on the Nexus 7 should do it.
Hope that helps!

You want tablet ui? Go 133 or lower, down to 130. If not, I think 140 is a nice resolution.

Smaller numbers means higher density on Android. Try it
I run mine at 145/150 for a little added space but not too much.
Are you on stock or cm/AOKP?

If you aren't going to listen and try what people are suggesting, then don't ask for advice. Seriously. LOWER your dpi to get a HIGHER density.
You can't change the actual resolution of the display. It is going to be 1024x600 (or 600x1024, depending on how you hold it) regardless of the DPI. All changing the DPI will do is change how images scale on the screen and in apps. If you change the DPI setting though, you are going to break market functionality. If you want to give yourself more room on the screen, lower the DPI setting. If you want stuff to be bigger, raise the DPI setting. However, doing either can lead to problems besides the market not working right.

I find the preset one to be good enough for me (i like everything small too)
Go to settings > display > screen zoom and font
pull down the sliders on both screen zoom and font size to the bottom and press apply
