Am I just getting old, or is the default Font size smaller than it was on last year's Pixel?

I'm not sure if it's smaller, but it's definitely tiny! It will be the first thing I change if/when I get the Pixel 2.

I'm having the same problem. The default size is tiny. When I increase the system font size I noticed that many of my apps/content doesn't render or wrap text properly and cuts off the text. Does anyone else? Any solutions? This seems like such a simple thing to overlook.
I didn't change the font size just the display size to large and it's enough for my liking.

I accidentally increased my font size, making my some of my app shortcut names cut off due to the increased size. I would like to know what I did to increase it on accident, and how to decrease it.
Thanks!

How do you know it increased? unfortunately Sense has it so that if an app name is too long it just trails off instead of going to a second line
The names use to not trail off. The font is larger than i remembered too.
This trailing off bit really bugs me...so much that I don't put shortcuts on my screen lol
Haven't been around in a while. My wife has the MikTouch-0.5 Rom on her phone. Looking for a ROM recomendation with options to increase font size. I understand that ice cream sandwich can?

One method is to adjust the DPI setting on the rom. Using buildprop editor, you can adjust the setting "ro.sf.lcd_density". The default for the doubleshot (at least with the CM 9.1 build) is 240. Lowering this number reduces the size that objects display, but I assume that increasing it will increase the size. I do have to warn, I have not tried to do this--I generally use 200 as my dpi setting. Changing this setting may also adjust what market applications are available, just as a warning.

Adjusting the LCD density on my phone made it to where no Market app was available for download/update. The Amazon Appstore and SlideME still worked.
there are also some free and paid apps on the market now that do this, you'll find them if you search 'font size' in Google Play. they won't affect how the market sees your device, but with the bigger font but the space where the words go remaining the same, there will be places here and there where words might get cut off at the top or bottom.
Hello,
what I'm looking for is to change only some font sizes.
I tried some Market apps and modified also the DPI value in build.prop, but these change all font sizes (small, medium and big fonts).
I come from a HTC Desire with Sense 3.5 and now I have a rooted S-off DS4GS with CM 9.1 using this rom:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1912582
Actually, text labels under homescreen icons, app drawer etc, look perfect, exacty the same as at my previous Desire, but with DS4GS some in-app texts or menu options look quite bigger now.
Are there different font sizes for small, medium and big fonts? If so, is it possible to configure each of them?
Thanks
On my OnePlus 3T and my S7 Edge, there is an option in the Display settings that allows me to adjust the overall display size. It will reduce or increase the look and size of the entire display (smaller text, icons, menus). Does anyone know if the Mate 9 has the same menu, or anything similar?

If you enable that developer options, there is an option labeled "Smallest width", changing that will adjust the dpi and scale everything smaller or bigger.

Thanks! I'll give it a try tomorrow.

FYI...The bigger the number, the smaller everything gets. It's the opposite of changing the density in the build prop. I personally like to leave my display size at large and set the smallest width value to 500.

In the settings menu, you tap...display then tap view mode. Then you can choose large, medium or small. I personally like changing the smallest width in developer settings.
Maybe is it possible to get tablet ui working here? Tryed to change dpi through dev options, but nothing, if i even set it to 600.
On Nexus 6p, i put that on 590 and had tablet ui in apps working.
You can just change it in the display mode setting no need to mess about I have it on small
Screenshot for above

I could get a quasi tablet looking interface for gmail app using a dpi of 800. By tablet looking interface I mean that, besides the usual list of emails, some of the options you get by swiping to right from left edge were present on the screen without swiping. For example I now had the option to switch email provider, (from gmail to aol) without swiping. The problem is that changing dpi to 800 hosed "settings". It would crash if I tried to open it. Fortunately the dpi did not stick when I rebooted. For those that use Dolphin browser, by changing dpi to 480 (from the default 432) you can get a 4 by 4 grid of icons for speed dial (instead of the 3 by 3 that comes by default setting of dpi).
Personally, I would not want my global dpi to be 800. I would just want certain apps to run with higher dpi. Normally I do this with the Xposed module App Settings. But, as AFAIK, that is not possible on nougat at this point. If someone knows how to modify an app to change it's individual dpi setting please do chime in!
Trying to decide on upgrading to the Note 10+ from Note 8. I do a lot of reading on photography forums and on kindle. Is there any way to know if you get more lines of text displayed on the 10+. I know it is a larger screen with more pixels but at the high resolution display setting does it actually display a few more lines of text for reading or composing longer emails.
Thanks
Yes it does, but its depending on your font, tell me what font size you use and i will check for you 1:1 with note 8
Using standard font - one size larger than smallest
I am using the standard font and selected one size larger than smallest available on selector. Thanks for checking this out.
I have the S908U - Verizon version, and I can not get the text size to the smallest size like I can on the S21, I have good eyesight so when the font is bigger then I'd like, I feel like I am wasting space. I can get the S22 CLOSE to what the font size is on my s21 unlocked, but just not quite there. It's a font feature that use to be under accessibility tab, it would decrease the font in ALL apps, texts etc....it's a weird question but does anyone else do this or know how to manually decrease the font? 1st screenshot is the S21, 2nd is the S22.
Enable Developer mode, then go in and increase the 'minimum width' value. You don't need to change it by much (mine is on 435).

Thank you, this did it! When I looked at what the S21 was set at ( 512 ), I changed it to the same on the S22 and it's right where I want it to be! Thanks!
Is this because the max resolution is a little bit smaller then the S21?
Um... No idea
