Font size smaller - Thunderbolt Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Is there an easy way to change the stock font size to a smaller one?
I am not talking about changing LCD density, I don't want all the apps and widgets messed up.

Try the font size option in Spare Parts basic settings

Or try font changer from the market and change your font to alex. I hate these massive fonts too.

Spare parts just works on OG Droid and within app itself. But thanks for idea.
And I would like to know if or more where it sets it in the code. I changed a .ttf on PC swapped it in system fonts folder and created a custom rom and it still came in the same size so must be code setting it to default size.

Or you can change your screen density. But everything goes smaller. Depends on how much you put it.
Screen density normal is 240
Smallest is 190 (still readable)

Change font size on Vibrant

Is there an app I can use to do this or some settings I can change to make the font size larger? I tried an app called "Root Changer (root user)" didn't really work. Thanks everyone.

Spare parts works great
I have spare parts but it only changes the font size within the app.

I'm also looking for an app like that, i want to make my front smaller
Maybe you could change directly the front with flipfont ?
I installed the Zapf Chancery font from flipfont and thats the reason I'm trying to find something that increases the font size. It's a great font just to small.

I think the only way to do what you are asking is to edit the font through the creation of a font and install it with flipfont. There is a great thread (created by Ritalin) with all the info how to do it:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=745345 - there may be one already created that's perfect for you.
It's a very easy process. It is a bit time consuming changing the font size if you don't get it right the first time cause you have to do it over and over till you get the size right.
Thanks for the thread, I appreciate it.

My dell streak did not show the tiny fonts

The Streak had a crap resolution compared to the Note. Amazon just needs to update their app store.
Change your dpi to 340. Hit thanks if I helped you
I doubt want to change font just for an app store. Thought perhaps there a a setting on the app store somewhere..?

How do I do this? Can I change it back and for easily? Can I change it for just one app? Is 340 the correct dpi for our device?
There is no way to change the font size. Interestingly, the tablet mode only started with a later update to the appstore. Also for whatever reason it runs in 'phone mode' on ics
Go into your build.prop and scroll down. You will see default is set at 320. Change it above that
I wouldn't change your lcd density ...it will mess up other apps...including phone app...some will look funny or be off aligned....

Halo Waypoint

I just got this halo waypoint app and I really like it. However, my pixel density is set at 200 rather than the default 240. Because of this, my halo waypoint app when opened, appears much smaller than my screen. Is there a easy way to mod the apk to make it think my pixel density is 240, similar to the market fix that provides a modded google play apk from LCD density modder pro?
Thanks

i dont have this issue
Well that doesn't help me, what pixel density are you using?

I have an amaze and the app is full screen

If you know how to edit the build prob due that, and put 240 instead of 200 it will trick the app
Sent from my HTC_Amaze_4G using XDA
Is it fairly easy to edit the build prop, only with the intent to trick the app? When I have my pixel density at 240, it works fine, but the default density sucks
Sent from my HTC_Amaze_4G
There is a tool on the market that will change it for you. Just search density changer or something
Sent from my HTC_Amaze_4G using XDA
Let me reiterate, I completely understand how to change my LCD density and it works great. But, my halo waypoint app when opened doesn't fill the entire screen. I am looking for a way to trick the app into thinking by pixel density is 240 so it is full screen.

[Q] How to change font size on all apps?

I just wanted to know how I can make the font size on all apps the same. I'm using the Verizon Messages app and the font is annoyingly large. Is there a mod or tweak I can use to make all apps have the same size font and how do I change the size?
Go to settings then display and gestures and hit font size
