Hello, i have a problem with some app and in FAQ i read that i should change the font in android's preferences to system's original. I don't see any option like this (only size of font), could you help me?
Fonts are not changeable by default. You can only change them using some font changer apps which require root.
Also, you're already using the default system font, so any problem is because of the app itself. You should contact the app developer.

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.

Hi,
Im using root explorer to change the system fonts but after replacing/reboot the fonts in system\font\ the font didnt change...
the only way is to change it in settings but there isnt my fav font included.
any idea?
Download and install your favourite font, then change it. There is a threat at xda called Flipfonts where you can find a lot of font apks.

Hi all
Just got the mini pro. It's brilliant but cause of fab resolution everything especially text is very small and hard to see and read.
Can anyone pls recommend an app that increases text size, maybe icons too.
Or is it possible to decrease the screen resolution?
Thanks

Hi.
If you're a Root User, you could change some values in your build prop related text size.
Otherwise, you could use UOT kitchen and change your font size and your framework's icons.
Please correct me me if i'm wrong, or even if there's a shorter way way to do it.
Bye
Thanks for your reply mate
Im not a developer im afraid. Im happy to root if needed and looking for recommended apps that either increase text size or decrease resolution
Ones known to work well with mini pro

Try an app called "Spare Parts" available on Android Market - there's a free (ad supported) version. It includes an option to adjust font sizes - no rooting or modding required. It's not "global" but it may help with menus and some other items.
I've just tried it with the SK17i - worked fine. Not tested over any length of time so can't say if it is the ideal solution for you.
Thanks very much trying it now!

I fond the preferences option than change folder directory. What am I doing wrong? I only have the default 5 or 6 fonts to choose from.

Update: I am able to accomplish this with minimalistic text just not simple text...

hi there,
i got the same question @simple text.
i recently changed the default font directory in the properties where all my fonts are. but they were not able to choose in the menu. same issue, when duplicating them in the /Simple Text/fonts directory.
do you have any idea, or how did you guys made this work?
thank you!
greets
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
