I have many ebooks in the MS Reader format (.LIT). When I open them they are displayed in small font only. For some reason it is not possible to change the size; when I go to 'Settings' and increase the font size nothing happens - the small font remains. I have changed the TP's font size in the Settings-System-Screen menu but without success. I don't know what else it could be. I have removed and reinstalled MS Reader several times but this did not resolve this issue.
I did not have this problem on my old TyTn. Does anybody have ideas or has anybody else run into this?

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
First off, I want to say a big thanks to all the wm6 developers, you are all doing a great job!
I recently upgraded from the stock T-mobile SDA wm5 ROM to vjgrace’s v3.4 wm6 ROM. The one thing I notice is that the fonts in the contact list (well, when editing the ‘notes’ field for a contact) are way bigger. And in the settings, you can only select ‘Normal’ and ‘Large’ for the system font size. On my old SDA rom, I'm pretty sure that you could select ‘Small’ as the font size from the list. Anyways, I usually fill the ‘notes’ field of each contact in my contact list with lots of crap, so it is important for me to have a smaller font size there.
I've searched the Internet for a few days looking for registry hacks or whatever I can find to fix this issue, but the only lead I have found is a program called “Tweaks2K2 .Net for Pocket PC.” It has a hack to change the system font size. However when I installing the demo of the program, it would always crash on boot.
When I e-mailed the author about it, he replied “Wm6 from XDA-developers? If that's the case, it's nothing that I can do about it.” :lol:
There is also a version called ““Tweaks2K2 .Net for Smartphone,” which is probably the one I should've downloaded, but unfortunately this one does not have a hack to change system font size.
So if anyone does have any information on changing the system font size through the registry, or knows of a wm6 ROM that has ‘Small’ fonts as an option for system font size, or any other useful tidbit of information, please let me know!
Thanks,
Ian
Team,
I am looking for some real help here.
I have a (Vodafone) HTC Touch Pro and have been using this for the last 6 months. I have a condition where my sight is at a fixed focal length. Reading SMS and EMails on this phone is very difficult for me and, at times, impossible. I use glasses but do not carry them with me at all times.
Does anyone know of a way that I can increase the size of the text on SMSs, emails and other areas of the phone? Here is what I have done over the last few months with no luck:
System Text - Basic
I have set the system font size to the biggest available through:
Settings -> System -> Screen -> Text Size -> Largest
I have also ensured that the Sensor Wheel is working when viewing texts by moving this clockwise - the text is at its largest.
This is still too small for me. :-(
Software
I tried using the AdvancedConfigurationTool from http://www.touchxperience.com/
Still no luck there.
I also changed the theme in the hope that I would be able to increase or change the text size - nope.
Finally I used a bit of software that allows the system fonts to be changed, even adding new fonts to the interface (sorry, can't find link). While this updated all text sizes the SMS text remained the same size.
Does anyone think this is the Vodafone branding preventing me from changing the font size? I would not like to invalidate the warranty at this point.
I like the phone but I am really finding it difficult to use as normal. Does anyone have any ideas?
Cheers,
Ricemonk
Thought an upload of what the SMS text is like would help:
I know this may look perfectly normal to almost all users however when on the HTC Touch Pro screen this is much smaller and difficult for me to read.
Open up Messaging and select a Mail Account. Then click on an email to view. From there, go to Menu -> View -> Text Size and select whatever size you want.
This action also effects all other txt in Both Mails & SMS.
Thanks for your reply treo927 however this was already set to highest as I changed the system text to the maximum.
It looks like I am destined to move away from the Touch Pro after only 6 months and on to a Blackberry.
ricemonk,
I recently had the opposite problem to you ... the fonts were too large, they were massive in SMS and email. I tried everything to reduce them in the mail settings.
I recall that I managed to fix it with a font setting from IE ... weird I know, but they must be connected. I cant now find exactly what setting I altered, but it was something in internet explorer.

adamcullen,
Thanks for your reply - I will take a look and fiddle with the settings and let you know how it goes.
Cheers,
Ricemonk
Ricemonk, try SMS Tweaker http://handheld.softpedia.com/progDownload/SMS-Tweaker-Download-62457.html
It's a free program that lets you set the text message font size in normal mode (not threaded mode) up to 16 points. It looks pretty big to me. I hope it works for you.

Thank you. This has helped me increase my font size. I appreciate it a lot.
Hi!
I've run into a problem regarding some of the system fonts on my device.
It looks like some system font has been replaced by some sort of digital looking font since all of a sudden some numbers in settings dialogs are now displayed as 7-seg numbers.
I guees it related to some app i've installed but since i've installed a huge amount of apps over the past days i not too eager to start backtracking and uninstalling.
Also i've installed Esmertec Jbed since the built in Sun Java is just crap. But in all java apps i run like opera mini the font is really bad. Looks like some thin upscaled low res font. I'ts readable but it looks like crap.
I'm not a win mo newbe but i haven't dealt with fonts on a smartphone before
Any suggestions on how to proceed with fixing these problems?
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*
