N9 font sizes
 
The font size in N9 is miniscule. it really detracts from ones ability to comfortably read text messages or send them out. As far as I know, there is no way to currently change the font size. Any solutions available?

A future update will bump the font size system-wide

As for now, you could perhaps meddle with the internal font metrics yourself, or get yourself a trendy pair of opera glasses

I don't have my N9 handy but does pinch and zoom change the font size? It works for terminal - not enlarging the screen but actually changes the font size setting.

Not in the text messaging or IM. Only in emails and somewhat limited in web

There's a hack I read on the Meego forums, but it seemed quite complex; the difficulty being that there's no setting you can tweak in roots that will apply universally. I'll try to find the thread and repost soon.

Meanwhile, better things to come on this in PR1.2 http://nokian9stuff.wordpress.com/20...ze-for-the-n9/

p.s. would have replied sooner, but the OP is the N900 section?:confused:

I am not that optimistic regarding the future update fonts. I am not impressed by the size increase.

You could use the free 'Chorded Keyboard GKOS' application from Ovi store to have a larger font for typing SMSs. On gkos.com/meego website there is also a draft upgrade of that same app where you can see the latest received SMS in large font.
