did you try to make a backup of /etc/hildon/theme/gtk-2.0/gtkrc and then edit the file? install rootsh from extras, then become root and edit the files you need.

1. I am using sudo gainroot, have rootsh installed.

How do you make a back up of /etc/hildon/theme/gtk-2.0/gtkrc, whats the command to save it.

It used to work perfect before I got the pr 1.2 firmware update..any suggestions what I can do.

thanks michaaa62 for the suggestion got it to work..

I too upgraded to PR 1.2 and found that my conversation fonts had reverted back to the original tiny fonts. Just do PART 2 again of my original post to suit your preference.

To those having problems doing this mod, please check your spelling and spaces. There is a space between "cd" and "/" in "cd /usr/share/rtcom-messaging-ui/html".

BTW I find font-size: 32px; for SMS conversations to be ideal. For single SMS, I used 38px for really large letters easy on the eyes!

Here is how a single SMS looks like at 38 px

Hello, sorry for my very late reply. No I don't mind at all, please go ahead and make it a wiki if you think it will be helpful to other fellow N900 enthusiasts. Cheers!

Re: How to increase the font sizes in N900
 

Hmm, works in mine. Did you add "font-size: 32px;" to a new line under "div.message (" in the file "MessagingWidgetsChatConversation.css" too?
Maybe used a colon instead of a semi-colon?
