is there's an equivalent to XP's Display Font Size in Vista? In XP Display Properties, Appearance tab we can change Font size to Large or Extra Large. This is useful for people who want high resolution desktops but find it hard to read small text (without sitting really close which is bad for eyes). I know there's a DPI setting in Vista just as there is in XP, but it's not the same as Font size.

I edited the registry and either modified or deleted a line
regarding font size.
Since then all my html messages use size 12 in Windows Mail, Live Mail, or
Yahoo Mail.
I can specify the use of a different size, but as soon as I type anything,
the size reverts to 12.
I can change any other attribute such as face, bold, etc. and they all
work.
I would like to reinstall Windows Mail but I understand that's not possible
as it's inseparable from Vista.
I've run sfc /scannow and there are no problems.
The only solution that seems possible it to fix or replace that registry
line I screwed up.
Incoming email is difficult to read because of age and font size. Have checked out ideas on Goggle and Windows "Help and Support". Either I'm too thick or the suggestions are no longer applicable. I'm using Vista, IE 8 and Windows mail.

View 9 Replies View RelatedIs there anyway to permanently change the font size to a larger print in Windows Vista. I have tried suggestions from IE going to options and then "general", but there is no place to change the size of the font.... One of the reasons I don't use the new e-mail set up is because the print is too small and everything is bunched together. They weren't thinking of senior citizens when they designed that!

View 8 Replies View RelatedLast week I purchased my 1st laptop and thus entered the world of Vista after running Win XP home since it 1st came out. I'm a senior at 62, and my eyesight isn't the best anymore. I tried 1024x600 for larger font size but didn't like how graphics and Icons looked, so I went back to the default of 1288x600. My problem is the the font size including emails is just too small, so I'm forced to continually use Control + to increase it. Is there a way to change the font size so I don't have to do this. I'm running Firefox 3.07 and the latest version of Thunderbird. My laptop is a Toshiba Satellite L305D-S5934

View 4 Replies View RelatedI just upgraded to a new computer with Vista , IE 7 etc..and I ran across a small problem..and I can't seem to find anything in the "Help" on IE or Vista , so I was wondering if an expert could give me some insight to a solution... ** How do I fix the font size in "boxes" on web pages..
for example the 2 boxes on Google page ..."Google Search" .. "I'm Feeling Lucky" and other small "boxes", like the boxes when you fill in a form online...also...the box where you enter text in the search area When I first started to use IE7 it was fine..then somewhere along the line the size went really small..
I finally found a fix for the above problem and you two surely deserve to know what it is. Under HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE > Software > Microsoft > Internet Explorer > Settings > I modified Always Use My Font Size from (1) to (0). Initially, I was doing my searching using the entire computer and it literally took hours. Since I knew that searching KEY_CURRENT_USERS was a waste of time (you had already suggested deleting Windows Mail), I only searched for key words using LOCAL MACHINE. This allowed me to shorten search times to a reasonalbe amount.

View 7 Replies View RelatedI am trying to find the font folder, so that I can copy a font onto a disk to put onto my laptop. In other versions of Windows its C:windowsfonts, which it appears to be in Vista, but once in C:Windows I cannot find the fonts folder. If I go through the control panel to the fonts folder it will not let me copy the front from there. It will let me right click the font to copy, but not let me paste onto a memory stick. I have already got into Folder options and made sure that Hidden files are visible.

I was wondering why the smallest font size on this thing is only 8? Is there anyway to add any font sizes smaller than 8. I need at least a 6. It is this way for every font. And i have the same problem on my desktop and it's still XP. If anyone could shed some light on this, I'd be grateful. Thanks.

View 5 Replies View RelatedI am really tired of Vista deciding what it wants to do with no input from me. This time all the font sizes in the display windows decided to grow larger. It was fine when I turned off the PC, but when I turned it on the next day all the font sizes had grown by at least 100%. I tried to change the size of the font, but that did not work. In reality I would like to get rid of Vista and go back to XP--there I didn't have to worry what it was thinking up to do today

When I try, the Copy function is present but when I attempt to paste to another location on the same computer so that I can eventually email the font as an attachment, the Paste function is grayed out. Tried it on a friend's computer and her situation is the same. Her computer is also Vista 64 bit. On my computer, I am the Administrator and sole user.

So every webpage I open, every menu option, is all in this new font which I dislike.

View 9 Replies View RelatedOS: Vista Home Premium 64-bit with Office 2003
When a client asked me to do a document using Times New Roman 12, I
discovered that Vista did not have that font (it didn't appear in my font
list nor was it available in Word), so I downloaded and installed it from a
file called Times32.exe. I had to manually extract the TTF files from the
archive because running the exe didn't install the font, even though the
installer said it had. When I used Vista's Add New Font and specified the
actual TTF files, Vista said they were already installed, and THEN Times
New Roman appeared in Vista's font list and in Word 2003.
Now I have Word 2003 telling me that I'm using Times New Roman, but it
doesn't look like Times New Roman on my screen nor on paper. It comes out
in both places looking like Tahoma, which is what I set up to be my default
font in Word.
At first I thought it might be a problem with the template (.dot) file I
was using for my client, so I created a blank new document using Normal.dot
and set the font to Times New Roman. It looked like Times New Roman on my
screen, but on paper it looked like Tahoma.
Do I need to find a special edition of Times New Roman specifically for
64-bit Vista? Why is what I see not what I get?
