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*

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...

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.

1- correct this layout in the first screenshot?
2 - reduce font size in the second screenshot?

it looks like my topaz when i tried new font, so try to change yours and it should be ok
Agreed with the above. It's the font size. Either 1. Install a new font. or 2. Re-make the font a little smaller.

Well ... thks for those precious information. Unfortunately, this is what I thought ... too. I should have added that I wanted to keep the fonts. I like those two
I tried to change font size with SK or tweak but with any results.
Any other suggestion ?
Have you tried setting up an alias? Its a registry tweak
Code:
HKLM → System → GDI → V1 → FontAlias
Key: [B]<fontNameToChange>[/B]: [B]<fontSizeToChange>[/B]
Value: [B]<newName>[/B]: [B]<newSize>[/B]
for example:
Code:
key: MS Sans Serif:-13
value: Arial:-14
will change all MS Sans Serif fonts in size 13 to Arial size 14
but you have to find out which size you have
keep in mind that this change is system-wide, it will affect not only today screen, but all apps with same fontname and size.
while i havent tried this, couldnt you edit the lua file (CalendarConsts.luac) and just change the line font size in there?

Hi,
I have allready alias in the registgry and how you said ... the most difficult is to find which size I have. I tried several settings out but gave nothing. Probably I used inapropriate combinations. How to find it out ?
However, something looks strange ...
This was my registry setting before I tried to change fonts size
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\System\GDI\V1\FontAlias]
Arial:-14="Tahoma:-12"
MS Sans Serif:-13="Tahoma:-9"
version=dword:0002000C
This is my registry setting after I changed fonts size
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\System\GDI\V1\FontAlias]
Arial:-14="Tahoma:-12"
MS Sans Serif:-13="Tahoma:-9"
version=dword:0002000C
And whatever fonts I install (with diffent sizes), registry settings above remains identical. That means there is no relation beetwen original installed fonts and graphic fonts, no ? The best way is certainly to change size in the original graphic font. I saw somewhere an app and a tuto explaining how to create your own graphic fonts ... Have to find it again

hi bro, look like only the numbers are the problem. You can use font creator to resize them. ( but its NOT freeware ).
Can you upload that font that you are using here?

Question regarding using Fonts Creator application ...
The installed font for TF3D uses :
cour.ttf
Helvetica Neue OTS.ttf
HelveticaNeue LT 35.ttf
HelveticaNeueOTS.ttf
Tahoma.ttf
Tohamabd.ttf
Wingding.ttf
Which one of those fonts do I need to resize with the app ?

I think you misunderstood what alias is supposed to do
You have to create new key with font name and size, so in your case, the name of key should be something like "Comic Sans: -18" (that minus sign stands for relative height, as you know it from Word, without minus sign it will take a height in pixels). The key value then should be for example "Comic Sans: -16". That will cause that everything that was displayed in Comic Sans 18 will be shown in Comic Sans 16.
You just have to figure out the correct font name and the font size that is used on today.
And repeat the same for Manilla calendar. Seems like you have different font in that app.

Yep, it becomes clearer. However it seems, this works only if you have classical fonts and not graphical fonts composed by assembly of different fonts as well as you pointed it out.
That's a nightmare this manila and this TF3D
manila uses these:
Helvetica Neue OTS
HelveticaNeue LT 35 Thin (that's not a typo, no space between helveticaneue)
I think aliasing will work on any font you enter. Just get the right name ;-)
I am using SKTools to figure out font names (Tune Up - Fonts - there is a list of fonts). But I am sure there is a "freeware" way to figure it out For example Total Commander and his Change Font menu in About screen

Hi,
Thks for you patience ... it will cost me 2 beers next time I go to Tchequie However, even I did harder thinks in my life, I am being probably stupid and I am unable to bring it out.
Lets have a look on enclosed files :
For test, I reduced all fonts size categories to 200 p with SK Tools but only popup menu's fonts decreassed .... and no manila fonts and no TF3D fonts ! No lucky to with MaxTTM (here I got an system error ...)
I fiddle somethig with the registry ... no luck again ! Certainly wrong, what I did. Nowhere to manage HelveticaNeue in SK Tools
Yes, for special thinks ... I am a noob especially for the time
Your future help, comments, solution (ie correct my screenshots and send them back) will be welcome

Hi bro, have check your cab file. And I see the problem. Its made up of 3 different type of fonts. So resizing them wont be simple or easy for me. Perhaps others with more skill can try. Why not you try this fonts that I pack for Topaz. Just click on the link below:

Hi,
I love this Bro .. will try to remerber it
Thks any way for the ole Cambria Italic ... I will keep my ComicFonts and give up for the other exotic fonts until I find a solution (if there is one)
Hi Bro ...s
HERE WE GO !! Finally I got it !
Probably I did not chose the best way to solve my font layout problem, but I did it.
How did I make it? Simple ... (say it quick) because in fact it is not really simple. Find somewhere on the net, Fontcreator app (V5 or V6 better).
1- Open all fonts or just this one which is concerned by :
tahomabd.ttf -> WM bold font (task and bottombar and ...)
or
tahoma.ttf -> WM6.5 regular font (regular text)
or
HelveticaNeueOTS.ttf -> TF3D Regular Font (all titles text in TF3D tab.)
or
HelveticaNeue LT 35 Thin.ttf -> TF3D Bold Font (all small text in TF3D tab)
2- Check and/or adjust "the left side bearing point" in "Glyphs transformer" in "tools"
3- Check and/or adjust "metrics" for the glyphs (space before and after glyphs)
4- If necessary, adjust glyphs width and/or height by using outlines scale in Glyphs Transformer
5- Save your font(s), rebuild your cab, install on your D2
Guys ... Usually fonts looking nice on website page but once installeted on your ppc, they are unreadable. Beware of using fonts coming from other forum or thread. Incredible what you can find in the cab or in the font files ! Amazing !
Enclosed two fonts cabs with correct layout for D2 and in case in ... zip file with original fonts.
*******
I remain opened to any other solution ... for futur font changing because this was the worst ! There should be a way to change some other parameters in WM6.5 or TF3D
Cheers
Hi Bros
There an other way to correct a wrong layout due to inadapted font size !!!!!
Forget those all previous posts from every one above ... to much work and to wasted time. However, I have learned how to manage FontCreator
Go to windows directory and copy and paste to your desktop (or some where else), the files "Titanium_800x480.cpr" and "Titanium_480x800.cpr" Open them with notepad or any other txt editor. Go to <!-- Title text --> find the concerned "ID Text" and change the values, you want or, that need to be changed (color, size, layout ....)
You just need to stay clear headed about what do you want.
Have fun

I am having the same issue and have been unable to find any info.
Several people have suggested advanced config, which has several font settings, but they do not seem to have any effect, at least on my device.
You may want to give it a try on yours.
Go to settings > system settings > screen and there is an option to change font size, see if that works for you. I didn't for me, but who knows

I've still not found a way to adjust fonts with TouchFlo, but at least for popup menus, you can disable TouchFlo, and then the device will go back to using Windows fonts, which can be adjusted using Advanced Config or other tool.
You can use TD2 Tools, go to the TouchFLO tab, and uncheck Enable TouchFlo Popup Menus.
Hey Guys I have searched and searched, does anyone have anything to change the font and font size? My font on the TP2 Verizon MightyRom SE is way to small to see without readers. can someone please help? Thanks in advance, keith
Depends on what fonts you want to change. I would suggest you start searching....might have to search 10 different ways before you can find what you want.

Try NueFonts. Its a small program that allows you to change the system font in various locations on your TP2. To change the font you just save a font file in you "windows\fonts" folder and then open this program and click on the drop down menu to find the font you uploaded to the fonts folder and change the size on the right hand side of the drop down menu for each font section. When you run the program you will understand these instructions. Hope this helps.
