I see that when I open either one of my browsers, I switch between Firefox and Safari, the font is very small and I have to use CMD and the plus (+) key to increase the font.
How do I permanently keep it at a bigger default font?
Any way to increase this? With my screen at full resolution the print is very small and gives me headaches very quickly, so I have to set it to 1920x1080. I switched to Imac for processing photographs, so the advantage of a good quality screen is somewhat wasted. Also, at the lower resolution, the print is not so sharp.
I have a late 2010 iMac - Lion 10.7.4 - Safari 5.1.7.Sure my eyes are crook (not good) these days, but my glasses work a treat.I run my screen at 2560x1440 which gives a beautiful picture, however some items appear small, this problem is amplified in Safari.In Safari preferences
Under "Appearance".What are the correct settings for standard and fixed-width font? I have the "Default encoding" set as Western (ISO Latin 1)Under "Advanced".In Universal Acess I have selected "Never use a font sizes smaller than - 18 What should it be? I often have to reduce that to 12 to make the fonts in many web pages unscramble and align correctly.
I have some PDF forms that I regularly need to fill out. Since they aren't "real" PDF forms and the document is locked, I need to print to PDF, save as TIFF and then use Preview's annotate feature to mark things up. It works well, but the default font color (red) and default font size (36) are not optimal. And each time I start a new annotation, I need to change back to black and a smaller font size. Is there any way to alter this default?
How can I change the default size font that is shown when I try to read an email in Outlook 2007? I know you can hold shift+mouse scroll button, but that is not the answer since it does not save the size you select. I want it to be saved a certain size and always open that size by default.
I'm trying to increase the font size of my mac, but I can't find it anywhere. I should be really simple to do so I'm probably missing something. On windows you just right click the desktop > appearance and bang. How can I do it on the mac? Oh and I don't want to increase the font of safari or finder, i already know how to do that, what I'm looking for is a way to make all fonts bigger (including menus)... just like you do on windows, make all fonts 1.2 times bigger.
A web dev client of mine was complaining about the site we built her, and sent over some screenshots. It appears her font size is about two sizes larger than "normal" in both Firefox and Safari. I had her reset it to normal in Firefox - no change, apparently the setting wasn't made in Firefox.
I'm must be hitting some strange key combination / trackpad gesture (I just got a macbook pro) and my font size in safari keeps randomly increasing. This happens on the desktop with the icons as well.
I prefer not to change the resolution of my iMac. I find that the bookmarks toolbar is not that easy to read with the default font size. How do I change it and make it permanent?
When I open pages it always uses helvetica as the default font.Can i set it to a different one like times new roman as a default.I mean you can tell it to start up by default to a specific page style, why not a specific font also?

I am considering purchasing a Mac Pro, probably at the begining of next year when the newer models have (hopefully) been released.
My plan is to get the standard model with Dual 2.8GHz Quad-cores (though this could all change with the new systems) and the lowest memory option - 2GB DDR2.
I plan to upgrade the RAM myself using memory from another supplier such as crucial. I have done this in the past with my macbook (taking it from 1Gb to 2Gb). When I did this I found that apple had installed 2x512Mb sticks from the factory which meant I had to buy 2x1Gb sticks rather than just adding a single 1Gb stick.
My question is, is there any way of telling what I will recieve from apple if I order 2Gb or is it the luck of the draw? i.e. will I get 1x2Gb or 2x1Gb etc etc...
The reason I ask is that I would prefer to use the single 4Gb sticks when I come to upgrade maximise the amount of RAM I can install.
I have an Epson SX515w printer and can't find any software on Epson that lets me set non standard print sizes. From my PC Laptop I can print all Avery sizes as well as any size I want. I want to print images to fit into small square frames.
I am quite new to Macintosh and struggle with the very small fonts in Leopard.
I use a mbp 15" with the native resolution and a second monitor.
I adjusted the font size in the preferences to a bigger font.With the finder and some software I am very sadisfied now.But there are still problems here and there.
When I use quick look in mail.app the font size is so tiny (small excel files), that even with the lupe function the fonts can not be read properly.
The same happens in other software, as the standard smallest font, used by leopard is just to small.
I just got some internet going again after having moved. I've had my new Octopus for a few weeks tho. So much to my surprise, I open up my gmail account and it's practically unintelligible. Some weird cartoon like font is my default font. As far as I can tell, all the default fonts are activated and all the settings point to the activated fonts, but this is driving me absolutely F__KING bonkers. Has anyone ever had this problem? Now to be fair, I did install some fonts from a semi questionable font disk a week or two ago, so maybe some rogue font has hijacked my web fonts.
I installed some fonts in font book yesterday, and right after i did, the text in safari is messed up (see photo below) I already reset safari, and that didn't work.
My graphic designer sent my new branding to me and the fonts won't load in Font Book. They are PostScript Type 1 outline fonts and they don't seem to have extensions like the ttf ones.
When I open the file in CS3 the fonts are missing.
the fonts are: ITC Esprit EspriMed EspriBoo EspriBolIta EspriBol EspriBla
I have upgraded recently with Snow Leopard and my printers wont work. Could this be why the fonts won't load?
I am a recent Mac switcher and am using Pages as my word processing software. After being a long-time Microsoft Word user, I have grown accustomed to the default font of Times New Roman, and I would prefer to continue using that for Pages as well. I know that it is as simple as changing the font, but I was wondering if there was a way to change the default font in Pages to Times New Roman just to save the hassle.
I just got a new MacBook Pro 15" and am still trying to get used to the one piece trackpad. (My old MacBook had a separate button). The main irritation is that, depending on how I move my fingers, I inadvertantly change the size of the webpage and font. I'm not even sure what I am doing to cause this, but is there a way to "lock" the trackpad so this does not happen?
