    How do I change the font size of the text displayed


    I have not tweaked anything but find that the font size of the text displayed (say of TenForums) has reduced. I have tried Settings-> Display. It has only two options : Default (100%) & 150%. If I set it to 150%, everything including Desktop & Taskbar are affected. I tried changing the font size in Control Panel -> Display -> Change only Text Size ->Message Boxes, but it didn't work. Any suggestions?

    :)

    size. I was changed the size of text, apps and others item to 175%, the font size display is too small. There is any solution to change the font size.

  3. How do i change the font? Not the font size.

    Hi,

    A software conflict could be the reason why you are encountering this error. To isolate your concern, we'd like to know if you updated your device to the Creators Update or the Insider Preview.

    If you want to change the font, these are the steps you can perform:

    • Go to Control Panel and locate Fonts.
    • Choose the exact name of the font you want to use.
    • Open Notepad.
    • Type/ copy the registry codes below:

      Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00

      [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\Fonts]

      "Segoe UI (TrueType)"=""

      "Segoe UI Bold (TrueType)"=""

      "Segoe UI Bold Italic (TrueType)"=""

      "Segoe UI Italic (TrueType)"=""

      "Segoe UI Light (TrueType)"=""

      "Segoe UI Semibold (TrueType)"=""

      "Segoe UI Symbol (TrueType)"=""

      [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\FontSubstitutes]

      "Segoe UI"="ENTER-NEW-FONT-NAME"
    • Replace ENTER-NEW-FONT-NAME with the name of the font you want to use.
    • Select File and hit Save As.
    • Select All Files under Save As, name your file and use
      .reg extension. Click Save.
    • Double-click the new file to merge in the registry.

      Click Yes, then OK.
    • You should be getting a pop-up message that the new font has been successfully added to the registry.
    • Restart your device.

    Keep us in the loop with the result.

    How do I change the font size of the text displayed

    If only for reading, click in the middle of a page, hold down the Ctrl key and press - or + to decrease or increase text size. Or hold down the Ctrl key and roll the mouse wheel back or forth to change. It doesn't change the print size.

    Thanks, it worked. But isn't there a permanent solution? I even downloaded & merged the .reg file mentioned in the tutorial to go back to default setting, but it did not resolve the problem.

    No, it's only a per window thing but may stick to others until closed.
