Random Rant: The default font for Gmail is way too small and is a font that I think looks crappy...

Posted by Walt_Disney (aka Walt_Disney) Jul 3 '13, 11:45

I prefer Times Roman and at least 12. Google uses an 11 font of something I believe. It throws me off when I cant change the font to reply to Gmail originating
e-mails.

Governments in Ontario will be moving to a minimum of 12 font (and possibly higher) in the next few years so that people with disabilities will be able to read e-mail.

Responses:

Sorry I should have mentioned I am replying to someone with a Gmail account and Gmail wont let me change the font it sends out. -- nm - Walt_Disney Jul 3, 11:54 12
- Bahhhh I am bad at explaining today. I am replying to people who sent e-mail. I use Outlook, they use Gmail...... - Walt_Disney Jul 3, 12:01 5
  - I'm fairly certain it's coming through as plain text. It would then read as whatever your default for plain text is in Outlook. - spamlet Jul 3, 12:10
  - Ah, then you need to improve your Outlook. -- nm - Spawn Jul 3, 12:07 1
    - And by improving it, you mean stop using it! (And switch to Outlook.com amirite?) -- nm - Qale Jul 3, 12:13
  - I got that and sent gmail messages to my Outlook 2010. I can change everything. I also just sent from gmail to aol mail and I can change everything - b. Jul 3, 12:06 1
    - maybe try this? nm but: -- (link) - b. Jul 3, 12:11
- I can change the font for any other type of e-mails I receive and we use Outlook at work. Only happens with Gmail. -- nm - Walt_Disney Jul 3, 11:57 1
  - I'm using Outlook 2010, but I don't remember the issue for past versions. hmm. -- nm - b. Jul 3, 12:00
- I tested that, too. I can change everything - my message, the sender's message. -- nm - b. Jul 3, 11:56
- Your gmail is faulty, then. -- nm - Spawn Jul 3, 11:56
- Sure you can. In a compose window, click the A with the underline under it, then click the tT. You get 4 choices. (One is HUGE!) -- nm - Qale Jul 3, 11:55 1
  - I think it's that he's replying with his own non-gmail account to a gmail message. is that right, WD? - b. Jul 3, 11:58
settings - default text style (this lets you change font and size) -- nm - b. Jul 3, 11:50 2
- oh, wait, you want to change the reply font? let me see. -- nm - b. Jul 3, 11:51 1
  - I can change it to anything I want in Outlook, and in gmail itself. there may be a setting in whatever program you're using. - b. Jul 3, 11:53
CTRL- + to make it larger? -- nm - JaxSean Jul 3, 11:48
in the lower right of your screen, is a screen size % you can change -- nm - peglegpete Jul 3, 11:48
