Hi, ther
My mother just got the new Samsung Galaxy S2, which is smaller font size. the SMS and contacts are quite small font.
Do you have any Rom or app with larger font size?
cheers!
hi,
I am over 35 and don't have a problem with reading the phone, maybe your mother need glasses.

Try the latest rom KI8 mate.
Its got a much bolder and clearer font
Search android market, you might find apps for resizing fonts there.

Oh. ..I'm 38, someone must have forgotten to tell me that I need a larger font on my S2 because I have*no* problems reading what's on the screen (and when apps have a user-selectable font size, I tend to pick the smallest available)
I just saw this on Android UK News if it helps http://www.androiduknewsetc.com/2011/10/16/big-launcher-ideal-for-those-with-poor-eyesight/

There are settings within messaging that define font display size! Should be the same with emails!
sent from t'internet
go into
settings>display>screen display>font style
to change the font. Selecting "get fonts online" will bring you to the market link for a samsung endorsed font switching app.
check out this thread for some .apk fonts.
its hard to tell which fonts will be the oversized ones, so youll just have to try it out.

Moving to Q&A
any program ??
still there is no progrma to make font bigger (in mms.apk ther is just extra small, small and normal) but still i need bigger font in whole phone any idea ?
Search Google Play. If you can't find an app that can do the job, CM9 has a toggle in accessibility settings where you can increase the font size by around 50%. Tho if you don't have experience flashing custom roms, I'm not sure I'd recommend you go down this path unless it's absolutely necessary.
If it is tho, might be something worth looking at ?
Edit to add - Also, not 100% sure on this, but you might also be able to change the DPI of the screen to achieve this as well. Perhaps someone who fiddles around with this might be able to confirm either way.
Edit to add more - I just did a Google search for "Google Play increase font size" & got results. That should be the first thing you do before you go down the CM9 route.
Font Size and Big Buttons Keyboard are both helpful .

When using Ubuntu font many users see rectangles in different places, that don’t belong there. They come from the .notdef character which in that very font has a rectangle shaped outline. This character appears when the font doesn’t contain a character for the codepoint requested. It seems like some apps use codepoints different from usual spacing characters to show empty room: e.g. with launcher pro in the app drawer long names are shortened with an ellipsis after which those squares appear. The reason why using other fonts doesn’t show these squares is, that some fonts only have an empty space at .notdef, so no outline appears. One can verify this by using the DroidSansNotdef.ttf which I attach. There I’ve only added an outline to the .notdef character and you’ll get the same behaviour as with the Ubuntu font.
UbuntuAndroidfix.ttf has an empty space in .notdef so it isn’t visible. Nevertheless, this is only a workaround for a bug that’s somewhere else.
Edit: As shown below, the real reason is missing U-FEFF in the font, so it is a font bug. Attached you find all four styles (Ubuntu regular, italic, bold and bold italic) with the added character.
20.4.12 — New version: added spacing characters U-2000—U-200F to fix some more box-char appearances.
Basically after searching a bit more i found this workaround: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=16895848&postcount=269 It seems better. But thank you anyway!
Of course this is better, it’s not only a workaround, it’s a fix.
I attach a new version of the fixed font with the added glyph. At least the Droid Sans that I downloaded from Google webfonts (to be sure that I have the latest...) doesn’t contain it.
Edit: Attachment removed, new attachment in first post.
Yeah thats right. But which program do you use to edit the font?
I used the Font Creator and the output size of the font is 312kb (instead of 335kb of the original ubuntu font). Your font is about 680kb. I used the droidsans.ttf from ICS platform (v1.0 build 114) and it did contain the glyph
I use fontforge and I'm doing font design in my spare time. But I've never thought about file sizes. I'll have a look at it later.

h i like the font. Nice!
The font is really good!
I love Greek & Ancient Greek letters in your font (i like the curves) but italic Greek just isn't my type. I think it should be less space between some letters.
Great work
How to use it.. I am Kyrillos Rom v10.1..

I’ve found the reason for the bigger size. I’ve overseen to untick the old style kern table option. Now it’s only 273,4kb. I’ll upload it together with bold and italic.

Thank you! The italic is far away from ready, especially greek and cyrillic still need alot of work.

If you don’t want to reflash you can also use a font installer program like https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.jrummy.font.installer

Thanks so much for the fixed ubuntu font. Looks great on my Live with Walkman™. Can I make a request though?
I see the same box character on the attached font. Can you help me fix it like you did for the ubuntu font, please?
Thanks so much!

You’re welcome!
The thing about the squares is, they show up wherever a glyph is found which doesn’t have a representation in the font. So it depends on where you see the box character. With the fixed Ubuntu font for example you’ll see many boxes if you want it to display Vietnamese because it lacks a whole block of multiple accented characters which will be added in a later development stage. The Droid fonts you attached will fail for many more languages because it only contains the code points of ISO-8859-1 which is oriented at western european languages (it doesn’t even contain a Euro symbol). If that is the problem, the simple fix won’t help you, one would have to know which characters you are missing to do something about it.
The second problem is: what is the license of the fonts? There’s no licence information so it’s not clear if one may change anything about the font.
There’s an Android logo font which contains the FEFF character and many more (incl. greek and cyrillic): http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=3771562&postcount=86 — perhaps this helps.
Thanks to both of you guys!
I can't remember which site I downloaded the font from but its really clean compared to the android logo font so I liked it.
New version as reaction on more box-sightings in the Kyrillos Rom thread. In fact the character U-2009 (thin space) was missing. I added the whole block of (non)spacing characters from U-2000 up to U-200F.
Non-vietnamese UI-elements should hardly show boxes again.

They are already present in the font. If you look at the specimen (https://github.com/georgd/EB-Garamond/blob/master/specimen/Specimen.pdf?raw=true) on p.3 you find a czech example that shows all three of them (at least in lowercase).

I would be ever so grateful if you could take a screen shot of the following word displayed on your phone, and post it in a reply on here. I'm giving you a noble excuse to try out that fancy new quickmemo feature of yours . Please also include if you're on stock or The Base. I'm on The Base v0.7.1 and would like to know if it also effects stock.

If you're an Arabic speaker (a bit of a long shot on these forums, I know ), here's the TL;DR - س is displaying as ش when it's in the middle of the word.
If you don't speak Arabic but are still curious as to what this is all about, here's a short description. Arabic is written a bit like English cursive. The shape of a letter changes based on whether it appears at the beginning, middle or end of the word. For some reason, on my phone the letter "s" is erroneously rendering as the letter "sh", but only when it's in the middle of a word. So "Johnson" shows up as "Johnshon". As you can imagine, this is quite annoying...

Bummer. I was hoping it was just a bug that popped up in The Base that could easily be fixed, but it appears it's a bug in LG's stock Android 4.0.4. I found this post where a user is having the same problem with an LG Motion 4G...
My boyfriend would raise hell if he found that LG ****ed up the Arabic language. xD
/Uninstalls and hides phone.
Well, I managed to fix this! Someone in the IRC channel suggested I try changing the font and it really is that simple. Just find any Arabic ttf font, rename it to LG_Arabic.ttf, put it into /system/fonts (requires root) and reboot your phone. If anyone finds a good Arabic font, let me know.
Personally, I kind of like the LG font. So I just opened the original LG_Arabic.ttf in a font editor and deleted the extra three dots above U+FEB4 that aren't supposed to be there. I've attatched the modified version if anyone is interested.
