To change Android Default Font Size

Question

Can anyone please tell me where exactly the Default Text Font size is set in the android framework.When I change the font size using Spare Parts package and reboot my android device, the font size sets to Normal style by default.But I want it to be Extremely Large by default.

Thanks, Riyaz

Answer 1

If you just want to set font size for the whole phone. Try going to

Settings (Phone) > Accessibility.

Choose Large Text there.

NOTE: I am assuming you just want the font for the phone and not via an app.

Answer 2

For andriod 2.3.5 go to SMS click on Menu-> Settings scroll down until you see Font Setting and select Font Size Setting

Answer 3

According to http://recombu.com/mobile/article/changing-font-size_M18292.html there is no native option for that, up to Android 3.0.

You have to install some third party app. "Big Font" appears to be a popular one.

Answer 4

You can't change a default font size. You can define a theme, and define a font size in your theme. You can read about defining themes and styles in the android developer reference documentation.

Answer 5

You can change font size, style etc in your application, but not for whole device. To do that i guess you need to root your phone and provide custom fonts with specified font size in it.
