I have 2 x Moto G's: an "original" and a 4G one - both bought in the UK.
Holding them side by side earlier today I noticed that the "default" font in the 4G one appears bigger than in the old one. I am referring to the text that appears, for example, under the icons in the start screen, and in many of the standard ROM apps.
The only way that I know where this font size can be changed is under Settings->Accessibility and then tick "Large Text", but this is disabled in both...
Any idea what is going on? I would really like the old one to also have the larger font (ticking the Large Font option messes up the appearance of some apps.)
TIA.
PS:: both are running Android v4.4.4

anyone know why when i change the font size in spare parts it quickly reverts to the default settings? it seems to change all fonts size but doesnt last long. once it changed right before my eyes just by rotating the phone to landscape. weird. would love to be able to make the font slightly smaller because one of my widgets gets cut off a little and a smaller font size fixes this. also, im not 80 years old and dont need a huge font to read. thanks
User Friendly
This is actually so ridiculous. 'Not so smart' phones like BB has at least 20 fonts to choose from and allows to make a choice for font size. I dont understand the so called open Android can not not have a simple setting like Font selection and size!!!
So much for open system and user friendliness!!!!
Been playing arond with varous apps to increase the font and icon sizes, and wondered whats the max icon size (in pixels) I can use on the note?
Looking round for some hi-res icons that are larger than default, some of the apps Ive used tend to zoom in, which look awful.. I want to make the most out of the phones res....
Would also help when trawling through the thousands of icon packs, to find ones that have bigger icons...
Love my new note, sold my gs2 to get one, best move Ive made!
Cheers
EDIT:
Ive got an icon pack (zip file) which contains icons of 125x125 pixel, hi res, and am using GO Launcher EX with grid of 5 rows 4 columns, and I the icons aeem the same size.. I notice when I move an icon, and the grid shows, the spaces between the drid marks is huge, how do I make my icons use more of this space???
I think Go Launcher automatically re-sizes the icons. Don't know if GO has an option to turn it off, but i know ADW has it.
the Note is xhdpi (320 dpi)
(Extra-high density screen)
96x96

Click to expand...
Click to collapse
¿Is there any possibility to get the text bigger?
I've stock ROM.
Thanks
There are some apps available to change fonts and font size. But I think you'll need root for them...
Sent from my HTC ChaCha with CM9 using XDA app.
You have following options:
1) Install CM9 ROM for HTC ChaCha. Under Settings/System/Font size you can change default font size up to Huge. Huge fonts looks very cool and native on HTC ChaCha. The only exception is System Apps program which has 3 tabs on top "Downloaded", "Runnning" and "All", - and you cannot see tab title "All" because it is out of screen borders (but still selectable on touchscreen).
2) Replace system fonts with larger font. There are fonts which by default are larger comparing to standart DroidSans or Roboto. Also, you can try to scale a font using font development programs (like FontForge). I've tried to enlarge Roboto to 120% of it's standart size. I've applied on my device and it was working, however some characters no longer were properly hinted and aligned and I could not fix that problem with FontForge.
3) Use application or app launcher which can enlarge fonts. Like "Big Fonts" or Go Launcher. I have no experience with these apps.
4) Use application which alters LCD density. This actually will enlarge not only fonts but all the graphics on your screen. I did not tried it, since it causes other problems.
I was able to modify Roboto font by increasing it to 115% using FontCreator app without noticeable aligning/hinting sideeffects.
Font looks ok on CM7.2 ROM, however on few places text overlaps and is cropped from top.
On my phone, I have my font setting to largest (Settings - Display, Advanced, font size, largest).
Unfortunately, I am finding a growing number of apps that do not display correctly with anything other than "Default" font size. The latest example was yesterday; I had to authenticate YouTube on my Roku via my phone app. I could not even see the "continue" button on my phone youtube app until I reduced font size to default, which then made it difficult for me to read the screen. And no, there are no scroll bars to move the screen when this happens. Android itself doesn't seem to detect and adjust apps according to font size.
My request is simple... When you are testing your apps, please consider testing them with font sizes other then "default" to ensure they are able to display properly for those of us that need a larger font size on our phones.
Thank you
Hi,
After update to Android 10/Miui 11 ,font size settings in my Redmi note 7 is not working properly. Font size is much smaller than eg. name template when choosing size. In other words, if I select "large" font size those 3 name examples look very big but after going back fonts are much smaller (about half the size) in settings and in Apps alike. BUT text under the framed pictures in google search results is just big enough so that I can't see whole text!!
It feels like there are 2 separate systems working at the same time.
Anybody had simmilar problem when updating from MIUI 10 to MIUI 11?
