The Messaging application in WM6 (SMS, email etc.) uses a very large font. You have to scroll a lot to read a lengthy message.
WM6 has screen font control settings (>Start>Settings>System>Screen>Text Size) but these only seem to affect the 'home' screen.
Is there any way of getting the nice small WM3 font size back for emails and SMS's?
The Text Size setting actually DOES control the text size in messages. Sounds like you have some other hack enabled that is messing with it. Pocket Outlook uses Internet Explorer's rendering engine to display text, if you have an IE hack going, it can affect PO.
Hi Looper - did you ever find a solution? I'm in the exact same boat. The font size is killing me. My IE browsing font size is smallest but that doesn't impact the rest of Outlook
God damn it... I had the same problem and spent half a night on resolving it But there You go!
Navigate to:
HKLM\Software\Microsoft\Inbox\RichEditHostFontSize
and change the value from 10 to 8
Thanks, Pajak!
This is an excellent hack. Not only does this make it easier to read incoming messages, the area for composing a message is now 2 full lines (instead of the dreadfully annoying 1.6 lines or whatever).
Muchas gracias!
i canr find HKLM where is it?

You have to use a registry explorer
Hi,
I've been looking for an easy way to change the font on my TP.
I've tried someones cab file which works, but then I can only use the font supplied in the CAB.
Someone else suggested copying the new ttf over the existing one and renaming it..
eg, new font is red.ttf, rename to tahoma.ttf and copy over existing tahoma.ttf
but, in my windows/font folder I don't have tahoma!!
maybe this is a result of a theme I installed (the font in the font foler is nyama or something)
so, what is the quickest and easiet way to change system font?
thanks
Use this tool ,it works for me
but this app only has 3-4 fonts in it...I want to be able to add any font I like. is there a way to do that?
can I add fonts to this app and therefore make them selectable?

ok..I found out that if you add fonts to the windows font folder then they appear in the drop down as selectable with this app..
however...I can't change the system font (I say system font, but I mean the main one, that is displayed on the now page in SPB MS etc. it stays as tahoma...and what's even more interesting is that I can't find the tahoma font anywhere on the device!! (I was going to copy over this with my new font)
so...has anyone got any other ideas about how to change the font on the TP?
As you can see here I've changed my font for the entire device (you might not see that it's for the entire device but it is) the rest of what I know is in that post, cheers
I seem to recall that Tweaks 2K2.NET allowed you to change fonts as well (via the registry) but be prepared for disproportionate buttons and dialogs which may flow off the screen.
Did you want to change the fonts as a user pref thing or is it in order to increase their size and make them easier to read?
just a user preference thing. I find the tahoma font quite boring. Tweaks2k2 does allow you to change fonts but again, not the main one.
I can't quite understand it. you can change the one in the drop down menus, the dialogue boxes etc but the main one (for sms or emails for example) stays the same.
Pixel, I could've sworn that I did this on my wife's PPC.
Using Tweaks2K2.NET, you can change the system font and size.
The only caveat is that you have to have the font installed to your PPC's \Windows\Fonts folder first.
Wait a sec. Lemme g00gle this...

I'm sorry if this doesn't help. I might not be understanding what you are trying to do.
Take care!
thanks for your efforts. I had to hard reset my device last night after weeks of happy life. so I'm going to get round to changing the font with the methods as indicated as soon as I've finished all my other config work that is required.
i have a touch and have changed most of my fonts how do i change soft key fonts, title bar font, sms inbox font and outgoing sms font i have tried tips from all over the forums and nothing is working
Check Settings+ RC_Mod, Font Changer 1.2.. and conduct a search in the forum, you will find MANY MANY programs for this.
yea, ive checked all of those out, i have wm6 and those still dont help. i dont want to change color or nething, just font. there has to be something in the registry somewhere... adding values or something to change sms compose and incoming font and soft key font. ive already done system font, bar font, pop font, oom font. the system has to get instructions somewhere as to what font to use
sms font can be changed in Settings+ and it is included in another option.
settings+ can change everything... at least on my device.
it seems like settings+ is for wm6.1 . i have a regular sprint touch running wm6. thank you for any help
hrm.
ok.. try these.. i managed them a while ago and wrote a readme file..
hope it helps
ok im getting frustrated, i just cant seem to be able to change the sms compose or inbox font or soft key. none of these programs wrk or have what i need and all forums point to the reg keys ive already changed lol it still seems to me that the program gets its instructions from somewhere and that that can be changed. ive pretty much given up on an outside program to change them...please help, im about to give up
its cool, i downloaded a new font, went back through an re-did my key entries and it seems to be fine i know the sms problem was solved and pretty sure the soft key changed...but ive been looking at this thing for so long its all starting to look the same anyway, thanks for the help, i appreciate it
lol. i forgot to attach the registry files to the previous post.. i wanted to help.
now, you might have already changed these.. but since one of them changed the sms font on my phone, i see no reason why it shouldn't do the same on yours.
Hey guys. I'm currently using a HTC Snap and I just updated it to WM6.5. The problem now is that I can't seem to change the font size of the sms. In WM6.1 there was an option to change it (Apparently under Settings>System>Screen or something like that). I can't find any way to change the font size now. Is there something I can do to change it? Appreciate any help. Thanks!
I also get the same problem. I wish to change font size (not font) in some applications. I have no guess how to do.
Please any suggestions?
the zoom tool on the att tilt 2 works to change the font size...
edit your registry...
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Microsoft\Inbox\RichEditHostFontSize

Hey, this helped me, thanks! But does anyone know wich registry controls the Inbox font size? What I want is to have more messages/chats/dialogues/e-mails at a time. Now, in sms or email-inbox I can see 6 items(portrait) without scrolling. With other Skins I've been able to see about 10 or 12.
So I guess what needs to be changed is "inbox font size" and "space between items in inbox".
I'm comfortable with reg-changes, so I don't necessarally need a cab, just need to know what to edit!
Pretty please?
EDIT: Nevermind, it was right there in settings>system>screen>text size. *whistle*
