The appearance of my desktop has changed. The font type is smaller.
Why would change the appearance of my desktop? Everything is smaller, even on Facebook, etc.
Hello
Ok. If we are talking about smaller type face which can be adjusted as described in the following links until the screen seems acceptable to you.
http://Windows.Microsoft.com/en-us/Windows-Vista/make-the-text-on-your-screen-larger-or-smaller
http://Windows.Microsoft.com/en-us/Windows-Vista/ways-to-improve-display-quality
If ALL literally got the smaller on the screen, it seems that the resolution has been increased. The answer would then be reduced how the resolution - here are:
Open display settings by clicking the Start button. Select Control Panel, then choose "Customize" then choose "change display settings.
Whatever it is fixed to, choose a lower resolution will increase the size of all the elements on the screen by reducing the resolution. Adjust the display to a resolution where you are comfortable with the size of the icons and elements on the screen and you should be good to go.
Hope this helps,

The font is too small for some applications on Windows 7, as a GOAL, that is to say
Okay, all of a sudden, the font on my computer in some applications is so small, that I can barely read. It is only in a few applications. For example, AOL Instant messenger, a few pages on Internet Explorer, etc. It's not all so conventional solutions do not work. I read in another forum of type "fonts" in the area of research and make a right click and click install font. However, my computer does not allow me this option.
I'm not a computer geek so please use plain English or I will have no idea what you're talking about and I'll watch just stupid. Please and thank you!

How to specify the font type and size (in points)
I often cut and paste from Word, Excel, or web pages in e-mail messages in TB. TB often done strange things, which the text is copied in it, making the text bigger or smaller and I can't understand how to change it. While I understand how to change the font (through Format |) (Police), the resize options are limited to the x-small, small, medium, etc. (Screen attached). My goal is to have the text I copy matches the size and font that I use to compose the rest of the email, but I find it almost impossible to do when my only options for size are x-small, small, medium, etc. Any suggestions?
I suggest you paste by using 'paste unformatted' (ctrl + shift + v, or in the edit, or on the context menu) to make any case adopts and adapts to the development shaped by default resident.
Use of the stationery add-on would allow you to define your styles in points, but I think it's misplaced effort. You have no say in what your correspondents to view your messages, what personal preferences that they apply or what limits their devices assert. Try to fix it with explicit sizes is ultimately useless to your correspondents. 'Medium' means that they see the message to the size that they want, not what you inflict on them.

Control/display panel, I got my screen set at 150% and a resolution of 1680 X 1050. It filled my screen 22 inch with the content of the page. Now that I have installed Firefox, the police is too small and the content is centered in the screen leaving about3"each side of the space empty. I want to fill the screen and make things bigger. Have not found a way to do it. Firefox tells me in my window/display of the control panel that setting my display at 150%, ' some elements may not match your screen if you choose this setting if your screen is positioned on this resolution. " It worked fine with the Explorer.
