Hey all, I read over the forums a bit, and I saw quite a few threads about changing just the SMS font size, but not changing the rest of the System font sizes. I have figured out a way to do it for the tilt 2 for AT&T.
The font size is not really the issue when it comes to the SMS font. The issue relis on the zoom of the screen. The SMS screen for texting carry a different setting for zoom, and it saves it when you change it. If you want to change the size of the SMS font, simply increase or decrease the zoom of the screen. This will only affect the SMS texting screen, and not the rest of the system.
Hope this helps everyone ^_^.

Thanks for that tip to increase the font size in my text messages. I don't even know how I reduced them--just, one day, I couldn't even read them without my magnifying glasses. This fixed it right up. I selected a text, scrolled the zoom bar and, BAM! Back to readable.

I have a verizon phone that is unlocked, using with at&t. My zoom bar does not work with sms. Do you have any idea how to get it to work. I am to the point that I need reading glasses to see the small SMS text size and yes I have it set to the largest size in wm6.5.

Specifically, the email and SMS inbox?
Its huge, and a smaller font size would allow more of the header to display....
There's a reg entry in HKLM\Software\Microsoft\Inbox that looks like the right thing and place, but it doesn't change anything when altered.

I know this would work at least for email (haven't checked with SMS).
The quickest way to change font size is:
On your TF3D slider go to Mail view>
If you already have an email envelope on the screen, just Click to open it
(if not, Click any email account icon & open an email) you should be reading the email now>
Click Menu (bottom right of screen)>
At the bottom of the pop-up menu, click the 'down' arrow to get more features>
Click View> Click Text Size>
Adjust to whatever size is comfortable for your eyes/screen.
Choice is Largest, Larger, Medium, Smaller & Smallest.
I noticed that changing the size in one email account makes it change the font size
across all email accounts so one does not need to repeat the steps for each
individual email id on the phone.
HTH.
That changes the text, but not the header/top level display. I'm trying to change the latter.... without success....
I haven't seen any way of achieving that for headers only- on my TP2, or for that matter,
any default email application on a phone yet, if I remember correctly.
I'm guessing I must be misunderstanding your question, as the answer "Settings => Screen => Text size" seem to obvious?
Not as obvious as you might have thought! I put it down to being tired, but I was searching for a "display" setting. "Screen" just didn't jump out at me!
I don't know about Genesis3, but this was exactly what I needed!
Thanks,
Ed
Hi All..... Is there any way of changing the font size or the spacing of the messages on the inbox?? I get only 7 messages on the main screen and would like to get more
Cheers
Go to your Screen settings, Text Size tab, and adjust the slider for smaller text.
Thanks..... now i have 8 emails...... guess this will have to do.... looks like the problem is also the spacing.... any reg tweaks to reduce the spacing between e-mails??
Hey all I had a question about text threading on the Tilt 2. i know i can change the font size when opening text messages under system settings. but i wanted to be able to change the font size for threading. Can it be adjusted without tweaks? If not what tweaks are out there? Thanks!

You can change your text size if you go to Settings > Screen > "Text Size" tab and adjust the slider. Alternatively, while you have your text message open, you can slide your finger along the zoom slider at the bottom of the LCD screen and it will adjust the size of the text font, real-time. Sliding in one direction makes the text smaller and sliding in the other makes it larger.
Yes i know i can do that. im talking about when i use my slider to go to the text message option. i want to be able to read the text before i tap on it to see it in the other format where i can make the changes. for example, on the tilt two all the text is white before you open up the area to see all messages. i just want to make the white text in the threaded area bigger. if i cant do that. how to i just make the font black or any other color, or bold instead.

I see. Your original message didn't clearly indicate that you were referring to the Manila Messages text font size. From what I can gather, you can't easily modify the Manila text size without changing everything else in the system's font settings. This has been discussed in this thread.
Thanks. I'll check it out
Ok I've searched hi and low for this with no luck. I am almost 50 and am starting to need reading glasses to see the fine print. I have an HTC Touch Pro2 with Wm6.5. I have the text size set to the largest setting but would love to have it a bit larger. Mainly for my contacts and text messaging. I have the text set to 300% when typing but I neet the messages that are sent to me to show up larger. It would also be nice if the zoom bar worked with text messages as it does with web pages. I know I am not the first to have this problem, hopefully someone can put me on an app or fix for this.
Carry and use reading glasses...Or get glasses with line free bi-focals. You might be surprised how your overall sight improves...

Please help, these are important text and very important emails. i want to change the text f=size throughout the whole system! Please help!
It should be in the clear type setting not sure exactly where it is tho
You can change the text size within your SMS messages by sliding the zoom bar under the screen. Just slide it to the right and all texdt will increase in size.
