I've got pretty bad eyesight, so I got an XDA2s in order to make PDA and phone usage easier. I copy text messages to Word and increase font size. How can I make the icons and general font bigger like in Windows Desktop versions (Resolution, icon size & windows font)???
Any suggestions would be much appreciated.
Thanks in advance,
Martand
PS, I set the font to large from the default medium but most of the standard writing on the screen remains small.
Chinese Characters on TMobile Dash
Hi everyone,
I have in my possession an unlocked TMobile Dash which I'm trying to get some use out of in Shanghai, CN. I can't get it to display any Chinese characters except in ClearVue applications and internet explorer (so no SMS, menus, network warning messages, etc.)
I once had hopes of flashing the dopod ROM, but obviously I didn't act quickly enough.
Can anyone help me?
Thanks!

just copy a chinese font into windows dir.
You can try to install the CE-STAR.
It's the great software for you.
I had heard that CE-Star works well on the Dash for Chinese. I personally am using the Dash in Japanese (SMS, e-mail, Web, not menus, though).
~Cheers~
what about Korean? what software or what can i do... so that my dash could read korean as well????
thanks,
display japanese characters? (kana, kanji, asian font)
Hi,
has anybody succeeded in getting Japanese characters to display? Especially in email, web (opera mobile), dictionary (MDictSP).
I've searched the forums a bit:

There are lots of free solutions for PocketPC edition (or palm os) on the web, but next to nothing for Smartphone.
I'll keep you up to date if I manage to get anything working (haven't experimented yet).
use CE-STAR
It supports most Asian languages.
Incoming call screen font size
Is there any way to increase the font size of the calling number and name on the incoming call screen? This is for the Rogers WM6 ROM. I've looked through the registry but couldn't find an entry for this.
I did change the system font to "large" in the accessibility settings, and while it changed other screens, it had no effect on this one.
Any help is appreciated.
Is there really no solution for this?
If you can find out how to change the colors to white that'll be great too. Sesinger, do you know how to change the colors of the home screen test to black? I've got some pictures I want to use as wallpaper that are too light for the white text. Thanks

To-Do List Font Size
Hey everyone, searched for 20 minutes so it's not on the forum or I'm blind. Regardless, I'm wondering how I can change some of the fonts - most importantly my "to-do" or "tasks" when I'm entering them in on the phone. Running the HTC Rom and wm6. I want to make the font smaller so I can see more on the screen when entering and scrolling...
Also, I'm wondering if there's a way to change the font size in the text messages. Size that I'd prefer would be "small" or "smallest" if your viewing any text in your pop.mail.
Any one have any places, programs, or instructions to modify this? Tried SK Tools and it wont change the font sizes on those, just menu, system font, and a couple others.
Thanks ahead for any help.

a good way to use a different font size is to use a program called xtreme text.
it is a threading sms app.
the do to list or tasks can be changed only through using a xtreme agenda.
Ive searched and cant find a precise answer i am looking for, SO i'll do it with a thread
How can you change the default font, and font size used in wm 6.1? It looks too big and edgy.
Thanks.

Change Fonts
There are any software that allow to change the font?
font too small for me
Any idea how to increase font size, changed to segoe but too small. Accesibility setting doesn't have increase font option like other roms. Help. Thanks,
Dave
Haha, yeah after not being able to find how to change it I found both those programs. Been using for a while now.
Changing size of system font for WM 6.1?
In the original Chinese build of 6.1 the system font was significantly smaller and I think looked a lot better in text messages, menus, etc. However, now in the WWE version of the 6.1 ROM the system font is a lot bigger. Anyone know a reg edit or something to make it smaller again?
I would like to know also. I have tried editing the read_sytle.0409.css and changing the fonts there doesn't seem to affect anything. I would desperately like to reduce the font on the threaded sms conversations.
I was wondering if anyone knew the reg hack to change the startmenu/softkey font to Arial..
The great majority of users I know use a replacement start menu of some sort making it as easy as going to the options. If you want to change the default start menu's font I am relatively certain that it will change everything that uses the system font. I would find the reg-edit for you, but I don't have my registry editor installed right now, you can probably find it on Google.
Kevin1a, unfortunately not, mate. I've changed my system font by SPB Tips and Tricks and it did not change the softkeys' font. And SPB changed three types: main font, menubar font and popup menu font.
I also tried SKTools, but I did not find any option to change them.
In fact, I really want to know how can I change the softkeys' fonts too.

if you put android on the kaiser.
does that mean you can use apps for rooted devices.
than i could use font size app.
or is there another app to have extremely large text especially in the messaging app.
As far as I'm aware, all android builds for kaiser are rooted, so we should be able to use rooted apps, although I have seen a few issues with rooted apps so your experience may vary.....

Hi there
I am 90% blind and have trouble using the phone, I long for an app that would allow me to change the font size, I found a program for WM to hack the font size, but not found this for Android yet. But if you want big font sizes in Text, get ChompSMS, its great, you can set incoming and outgoing font size and colour (which is great, cos I like black on yellow), I have font size set to 30pt (which should show just how bad my sight is!) but it means I can read texts now, I couldn't do that in WM! I am testing the 'eye's free' applications, which is text to speech, but its a bit hit and miss.
Hope that helps
Leona.
In 2.2 Froyo, I noticed that there is a 'Font size' in Spare Parts, which does make the menus readable (to me), but sadly once you come out of the menus the option is lost and you are back to small fonts, doesn't seem to save, shame
Does anyone know how to change font size? I can't seem to figure it out or find an answer.
Not Sure If It's The Same With Windows But Try A App Called Spare Parts!!

in the 7 weeks i've used my Mozart, i have not found a way to change the font size, except for zoom-in and -out with email, web pages, etc. i would really like to increase the font size of the text message app. its one of the few frustrating things i don't like with WP7.
aslo here very frustrating that you can't change the font size
I would presume, currently, it is not possible. The UI has been locked down a lot to provide the same polished user experience to all users, allowing users to change the font size could result in a few quirks with the UI, i.e. text not fitting correctly.
