Font size keeps defaulting to 100% after I increase it.

Using Vista and IE8, I enlarge the font size to 165% to make it readable on my monitor resolution 1900 x 1200. However, every so often, recovery of the computer, he wakes up with a font size of normal 100% instead of 165%. It's embarrassing. Is there something I could do to make sure it remains to the selected new?

Hi Charita142,

try this out...

Font size settings will no longer exist under Internet Explorer
http://support.Microsoft.com/default.aspx?scid=KB; EN-US; q255062

If the other suggestions do not, apply perhaps MSHTML. DLL is corrupted or is not properly registered. Go to start / run and type:

regsvr32 mshtml.dll

If still no joy, use the (SFCSystem File Checker. EXE) to extract a new copy of c:\windows update setup files.

Kind regards.

  • Font size by default in Safari

    Is there a way to define the font size so that when you open a new page, the default value is no huge guy who suggests that you go blind? I'm kind of having to 'Order' - at the level of the type to a readable size, everytime I open a new page. Thank you

    No, there is nothing in the preferences of Safari I see which allows to do.  You can set the default font to be not less than a certain value and you can do this in the Advanced tab, but which would prevent all sites with great rendering, any small font.  It wouldn't change the already large fonts and make them smaller.

    If this is the kind of functionality in a browser, I suggest to download Firefox.  You can set the size and font of police at all what you want, which are two things you can't do in Safari.

  • Why is the fixed font size in Windows Mail (Vista) after installing IE9?

    I use Vista.  When I installed IE9, I discovered that the font size in any of my messages of e-mail in the Mail window is fixed.  I can't even use a bold font.  Why is this, and is there anything done to correct the problem?

  • Is it possible to increase the font size on web pages? I can increase the size of the page but then lose the ability to see the entire page.

    I've just updated El Capitan, but the font size on web pages went all teeny weeny.

    I was wondering if we could increase the font size? The page can expand via "zoom in", but then lose the ability to view the web page in the blink of an eye.

    Thanks in advance.

    Yes.  Open the Terminal app and type the following command followed by the Enter key or return:

    : write com.apple.Safari com.apple.Safari.ContentPageGroupIdentifier.WebKit2MinimumFontSize - int XX

    (triple click on the line to select it to copy and paste into the Terminal application).

    Change the XX to the font size you want as the minimum font by default.

    Or you can use a css style sheet.  This site describes it and the Terminal method: specify Minimum font size in Safari 10.0, macOS Sierra

    Hi Scott,.

    If you change the settings in display properties, you can change it to default by selecting the Windows XP default theme. This will change all default Windows fonts and their sizes.

    To do this, follow these steps.

    a. right click on an empty space on the desktop and then click Properties.

    b. on the themes tab, click Windows XP in the theme box.

    c. click OK.

  • Is there a way to set the font size as default in WordPad - Windows 7?

    In Windows 7, is there a way to set the default value in WordPad to Courier 10? I see no place to set the default value. I save my changes and when I close and reopen the document it's back to Courier 11 and the spacing is all off. I create documents for customers who need very specific settings (including a 10 - PT font.) to copy and paste resumes to online applications. Once I have send the plain text for them, they, also, versions I can save these specific parameters. It's extremely frustrating; in XP and Vista, I was able to save 10-PT policy documents. I don't see why this was changed. Any suggestions? Anyone at MS have the power to solve this problem?

    I created a document called a new Doc - highlighted space vacuum-made my the font changes and size and saved.  So when I want a document with my size settings and the police, I opened my new Doc.  Make sure that when you save it you rename this new Doc remains empty.  I created a shortcut on the desktop and open the new Doc instead of WordPad.   I guess you can do your employees.  I hope this helps.

  • Why my point size keep defaulting to 1 pt? Can't go smaller

    I seem to be getting more & more problems with illustrator. When I sometimes draw a shape with the pen tool is the default line to 1 point, I can go bigger but not smaller. When I select a small size it will just backward to 1 pt.

    Penny,

    In such cases, the first assumption is aligned to the pixel grid.

    You can select the entire document and untick finally align on the pixel grid in the Transform palette and uncheck also align new objects to the pixel grid in the options of the Launcher.

    You can avoid the types of documents with the default (RGB for the web and other) or change the default value for such documents.

  • Increase the default font size

    Hello

    Where can I change the font size by default for all pages in my application?

    Thank you

    Roseline

    As usual for any question about the appearance, you MUST indicate what built-in theme is used, or provide information on your custom theme...

    Most of these themes using the very poor practices to use the universal selector in their CSS to define the size of the general police using absolute font size units, something like:

    * { font-size: 11px; }
    

    http://meyerweb.com/Eric/articles/webrev/200006a.html

    It is better to know exactly how this is done in the theme in use. The use of this blunt instrument causes all sorts of problems.

    The rule of the universal selector must be overridden, or by modifying the existing CSS (not recommended if it's a built-in theme), adding another stylesheet to all page templates, or incorporating a style rule in the header of every page in use patterns. The latter is probably the easiest:

    
    

    but it would be better to be in a style sheet for ease of maintenance. See the documentation for how to add custom style sheets and make sure the substitution appears after the reference to the CSS theme.

    http://download.Oracle.com/docs/CD/E14373_01/AppDev.32/e11838/themes.htm#BABFIFJC

    It's really best not to use absolute (px or pt) font size units, but it is difficult to get things working properly between browsers in quirks mode (as used by the existing themes) by using the proper techniques.

  • Default font size cannot be restored

    I am running Windows 7 Home Premium 64 on a desk. For unexplained reasons, the font size of all the configuration windows (a window where you select for example the font DPI) have opted for a font size tiny who cannot yet be read without a magnifying glass. I tried to restore the default font size in the window of the control without result Panel.

    I can indeed click the bar 'restore the default fonts', but on that same windows at the bottom left is a button which remains grayed out so I can not confirm this choice and he will take no effect.

    Is there a work around to restore this font size by default please?

    HKEY is a path within the registry. Registry is where Windows stores the parameters key, including the boot settings and other complex parameters, which makes the work of Windows.

    To open the registry editor, goto start-> type regedit.exe-> click on enter. If UAC prompts, click Yes.

    In the left pane, you can see HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE. Click on the + to expand the tree. Under this expanded tree, look for software. Expand it. Similarly, look for Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\FontSubstitutes\MS Shell Dlg. You can see your current path to the status bar.

    Once you click on FontSubstitues, on the right pane, you can see the list of parameters. Goto MS Shell Dlg 2. Double click on it. Tahoma type, click Ok. Then close the Registry Editor window. Now reboot the PC and verification.

  • Redefine the character Format - font/size

    This question was asked back in the beginning of ' 09 ("aught 9 ' as the former toady will probably tell someday). It seems that there is a work around at the time. I wonder if advanced in years and versions of software have given rise to another method.

    Redefine the character format

    March 30, 2009 12:14 AM

    Hello

    I need to change a character format which is currently 10pt Courier to adapt the size of the police of underlying paragraph format, for example Courier 12pt to the body of the text and Courier 10pt to table text, Courier 9 pt bottom and so on.

    When I update the format of size set to according to East, existing to stay at 10 PT, instances which is consequent that the text was before 10pt. Is it possible to change the format to use the font size to default paragraph for all existing instances with less effort than to apply formats again to all instances?

    With the help of FM 8.0p277 on Windows XP.

    Thanks in advance for any advice.

    It works perfectly and solved the problem. Thank you, Ron.

    Looks like the size was precise defined in the tag of character instead of AsIs. In this case, you shoot yourself in the foot by changing the size of paratag.

    If you have already changed your paragraph tags and to see what happened, then you have some cleaning to do.

    What will work is, in an instance of the tagged content, explicitly change the size in designer character for what is necessary, and then click all to update. Then update this definition of new character tag to be AsIs for the font size (and most of the other features) and remove the replacements. The tagged content should now change if you change the paratag font sizes.

    Repeat for the other character tags.

    However, if you have not done anything yet, then in the Character Designer of simply change all relevant tags to have a size of AsIs and update everything to remove overrides. Nothing has to change visually at this stage. Then, when you change the font size of paratag, character tags will now change size as a result.

  • Change the font size of Textfield using buttons

    Hello

    I have some textfields in my form with a static confined area and the default font size is set to 11px. However, some users would like to have a possibility to increase the font size in these areas. I looked for a solution and I understand the there are 2 ways to do this: either by using a button to change the size of police (i.e.) with a drop-down list controls the size of the police. I am wanting to do something like this:

    (1) add 2 buttons on the form to control the font size. Will be a button "+" (to increase the font size) and the other button will be "-" (to decrease the font size).

    (2) I understand that if I am setting a size police fixed increase to, I can add a javascript something like this:

    TextField1.font.size = "12pt"; 
    

    But I don't want to like this because in this case, I can only give limited options. Is it possible to write a javascript script that can identify the font size of the object textfield then adds (or) subtracts 1 point to the font size depending on whether the user clicks on the '+' or '-' symbol? In this way, the user can control and experiment what best suites of font size them. Hope this makes sense... I wonder if anyone has an idea on how I can do this...

    Hello

    You can use code like this on the '+' and '-' buttons

    This code is for the button «+»

    get the font size

    var currentSize = TextField1.font.size;

    get the location of the string "pt".

    var ptPlace = currentSize.indexOf ("pt");

    get the part of the string that is just a number

    var currentSizeInt = currentSize.substr (0, ptPlace);

    analyze this new string as an integer and add 1

    var newSizeInt = parseInt (currentSizeInt, 10) + 1;

    set it as the new font size (adding the "pt" back on)

    TextField1.font.size = currentSizeInt + "pt";

    Obviously for the '-' you just change the line that adds the value 1 to subtract 1

    Hope this helps

  • FONT SIZE: for the last 8 days the font size will increase from 100% to 75%.

    For the last 8 days the font size will increase from 100% to 75%. This happens automatically. I am not able to change the font size to 100% the normal way. On the desktop, I right click and try to enlarge the icons without result. In Explorer I go down to the bottom right to change the zoom level and try to change the font, nothing helps. The only way I can do it is through the system restore. Can anyone help? Dogscout

  • Want to change the WordPad default values for font size and line spacing

    I use WordPad quite heavily because it is simple and fast.  But the new version of W - 7 seems to not allow you to change the default values for the font, size and line spacing.  The default values are not suitable for a large part of what I do and I'd like to find a way of quickly and easily, either make the changes permanent or change this to open with a single click of mouse or at most two.  Any suggestions?

    It is the "best" solution to workaround.  After you change your Default.rtf custom, simply move it to your system32 directory and add the "Default.rtf" at the end of the location of your target on the property sheet for your file WordPad.exe.

    Every time that you open its default location in the directory c:\program files\windows NT\Accessoires WordPad.exe, it defaults to now your Default.rtf custom.

  • 100% font size

    Hello

    I want to just make sure I understand 100% font size in the body element. I'm starting a new site and I have the following at the beginning of my css file main.css.

    @charset "utf-8";
    {body
    background: #ffffff;
    margin: 0; / * It is advisable to zero, the margin and the filling of the body to hold element has a different default browser * /.
    padding: 0;
    text-align: center; / * This centers the container in IE 5 * browsers. The text is then set left aligned by default in the #container selector * /.
    Color: #000000;
    do-family: "Times New Roman", Times, serif;
    do-size: 100%;

    Now, I understand that to mean that the font size will be 100% of the default size of a browser, because I'm not indicates a real default size of, let's say, 20px. Am I wrong?
