Font size registry keys don't work? - Windows Mobile Software Development

Can anyone tell me how to change font sizes?
I have tried nueFonts, INGChangeFonts and Advanced Config, as well as editing the HKLM\System\GWE and \GDI registry keys directly, as described here and here. The registry values are being changed, but the fonts do not. Exception: I found one app, Mauro Venturini's Shortcut Creator, that seems to be paying attention to these registry settings. No others do.
I am particularly interested in changing the font size of the pop-up menus that come up when you tap a softkey.
Thanks!

Thanks for responding... but as I mentioned in my initial post, these registry keys are not having any effect on the font sizes on my device (with the exception of one application). I'm trying to find out why this is the case.

i think it has something to do with the theme you are using...
there was a time when i uninstalled all my themes, the menu changed back to the WM6.1 style.

Diamond-like Start Menu Font

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.

Esmertec/RickyWyatt font/number key issues

T-Mobile Dash with RickyWyatt WM6.1, Esmertec Jbed (latest)
In applications like MIDPSSH (v1.7.3), the keys WERSDFXCV are all mapped to numbers. I've encountered this in a few other MIDP applications. Is there a fix for this? This doesn't occur in full-screen text-entry fields - only when in the active application.
In applications like Gmail and Opera Mini, the fonts are "ugly" -- not anti-aliased. Is there a way to correct this? (In Gmail, there's a preference for large fonts, but it doesn't appear to have any effect.)
I've tried searching in the custom search, but haven't been able to find solutions for either of the above.
Thanks for your help.
Your font issue can be sorted by placing the font attached into the Windows Directory and rebooting phone.
Worked like a charm. Thanks so much.
It looks like there's another font in the Gmail app that's being called, but isn't present (in the message subjects) -- any idea what font that is?
In any case, thanks again.

Dude... what can i say... It´s perfect! You guys from this forum rocks!!! Thanks a lot.
I found this..

The following registry settings control the font sizes for apps running in JBed.
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Apps\Esmertec Java\Device Info\Java Font]
"Size Large"="26"
"Size Medium"="20"
"Size Small"="16"
You may need to create the Device Info & Java Font keys since they are not created by default. I know they change the font with JBed 20080912_5_1, not sure about older versions.

It appears to work with the latest Esmertec Jbed.
I had some issues with the Menu button fonts looking a little weird.. but I got it worked out. It turns out another font was missing.
It's one of the following:
#tahoma.ttf
#tahomabd.ttf
Arial.ttf
tahoma.ttf
tahomabd.ttf
arialbd.ttf
arialbi.ttf
ariali.ttf
Andale.ttf
CORBEL.TTF
CORBELB.TTF
CORBELI.TTF
CORBELZ.TTF
lsans.ttf
lsansd.ttf
lsansdi.ttf
lsansi.ttf
micross.ttf
lucon.ttf
I had to use the attached gmail.jad -- the original jad caused the gmail app to reverse the menu buttons.
Upgraded to "VGA Esmertec Jbed 20080912.5.1.cab" and the fonts look great.

Forecolor of Hometab text

Hi,
Currently i've got a white background on my Blackstone. The problem is that the forecolor of the appointments are also white so I can't see the text anymore. Is there a way to change this somewhere in the registry?
Grtz,
Annihil8
No... not a registry entry!
But... you can change the colour in the _manila file for the home page.
Open the file "1c684cd8_manila" in m9editor, and look for the sections that relates to things like "Carrier Network", "HomeZone", "MissedCallText", "VoiceMailText", "Appointment0_Time", "Appointment0_Subject", etc., etc.' (there are quite a few).
Change the colour value if it appears.
Add a colour value if it's not there (default is white if no colour value exists).
thank you, that worked for me!

How to change the size and shape of menu bar of wm6's own program?

How to change the size and shape of menu bar of wm6's own program?
I have changed SysFnt and PopFnt and BarFnt, system font; pop menu; menu bar of third party program has been changed respectively.
For example in photo,
alarm and wireless manager are using sysfnt, which is bigger.
The pop menu of "edit" and "menu" changed by popfnt.
the font size and shape of menu bar of third party program changed by BarFnt.
How to change the size and shape of menu bar of wm6's own program?
I know Start menu could not be changed by registry, need third party DLL.
Could we change the font size of the following location by registry?
menus in Today; left/right soft key; Those text under icons in "Program"/"Setting"; Title bar of the current program window.
I tried those keys under [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\System\GDI\V1\FontAlias], but seems nothing changed.
for example "Tahoma:-12"="Tahoma:15" change nothing.
Please advice,
Thank you very much!
I changed the following.
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\System\GWE\Menu\PopFnt]
"Wt"=dword:000005dc
"Ht"=dword:000002bc
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\System\GDI\SYSFNT]
"Wt"=dword:000005dc
"Ht"=dword:000002bc
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\System\GWE\Menu\BarFnt]
"Wt"=dword:000005dc
"Ht"=dword:000002bc
Well, I don't know if my advice worked but I use Registry and edit like this:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\system\gwe\menu\popfnt
and change the value for the "Ht" entry from "1200" to "1000" or smaller just belongs to you, then restart the device. I'm using Touch Diamond and it worked great

[Q]Advanced config problem.

Hey all,
Got a stupid problem caused by myself...
But don't know how to fix it..
I changed "menu bar font size" to standard in "User Interface".
But this is way to big.
I wanted to change it back to 800 but there is a little problem...
I can't change it by typing some numbers.. I can only choose from the menu..
Is there a way to fix it with "regedit"?
Thanks anyway!
Greats,
Leek1001.
Hi leek
You can change the font size with this reg. key:
(HKEY LOCAL MACHINE)
System/GDI/SysFNT/ in the SysFNT you will find the letters (HT) in this is the value normally 900 you can than change what you want,unfortunatelly I'm not sure whether it change also the menu bar font size,give it a try it don't hurt.

well I found it, thanks lumisab you gave me the right direction.
It's in: HKEY LOCAL MACHINE/System/GDI/SysFNT/GWE and not GDI
In GWE is a map called 'menu' and in there, there are two maps
- BarFnt
- PopFnt
There I changed both 'Ht' to 800.
Greets,
