How to increase the font size of YOUR SMS on your Nokia E71

Hi guys !!

I've found something really interesting with my nokia E71

yes,you can increase the font of your SMS by choosing
tools..settings...general...personalization...disply..font size

then YOU HAVE TO CHOSE NORMAL and you will find that the size of your SMS has been increased!!
note:if you have chosen before Large , you would find that the font of,for example, the menu of your SMS decreased a little .

N.B. I think the font size of the SMS is not responding to the large size selection, while the menu do response ,I am sure this is a bug that has to be addressed by Nokia with software update soon !!

With my love

This was my reply to some other topic, but I found it so important and worth to be in its own topic

Wow - THANK you!!! This is GREAT information! I've been reading the manual from cover to cover trying to understand why I needed to purchase a pair of bi-focals to read the "Large" font size font.  I thought the font was already set as "normal" as a default, but no matter - you've solved the problem!  GREAT JOB!!

Re: How to increase the font size of YOUR SMS on your Nokia E71

You are right with that setting. But, this kind of setting is rather *naive* for a *smart* phone. There are two main factors when a user select a font size; the user's sight and the form in which the font is applied. E.g. Many users would like to have smaller font for table such weekly view of calendar, but bigger font for non-tabled form such Note/Memo. I myself really hate that global setting of font. I like *each* application has its own setting, though they should share the same font database / font table. Nokia programmers are surely able doing that, but they just don't really care.

Re: How to increase the font size of YOUR SMS on your Nokia E71

Hi!

 

I have a font size problem too. I do not have an E71, but a 2323 and when set to normal, the font IS normal when texting but reeeally small when reading an SMS. When set to big, it is normal when receiving, but huuuge when texting. 

 

This is really annoying especially because I use very much the SMS. 

 

PLS help :smileysad:
