| Default Font Display size too small | leenagrace | 12/16/08 12:51 AM | This is a big problem. I like to view from a distance and I cannot seem to find a way to enlarge the type so I can read it. As it is, I have to get the screen to within a 12-18" to read it because it appears to be about 6 to 8 pt size (as I recall fr |
| Re: Default Font Display size too small | dbar2 | 12/16/08 9:28 AM | I AGREE!!!!!! I too need an answer to the above problem ! Help please.......... |
| Re: Default Font Display size too small | Critesjm | 12/16/08 12:25 PM | Ctrl + mouse wheel. Slide the mouse wheel forward to zoom in, backward to zoom out. Only issue is that you have to do this every time you wish to visit a page. |
| Re: Default Font Display size too small | dedicvetko | 12/28/08 7:31 AM | AGREE with OP. There is no way to increase minimum font size like in Firefox. Will be deinstalling Chrome because of this. |
| Re: Default Font Display size too small | dbar2 | 12/28/08 10:47 AM | I wrote to google about a week ago about this- no reply yet.. If people write in, maybe they'll consider it... go here to tell them (see link below) http://www.google.com/support/chrome/bin/request.py?contact_type=feedback |
| Re: Default Font Display size too small | jhietter | 12/31/08 3:08 PM | I agree. I'm not going to hit ctrl+ or ctrl with the mouse wheel every time I open my browser. It's just way too small. I found a place to increase font size, but it's apparently not for web content. |
| Re: Default Font Display size too small | dmccoy | 12/31/08 3:50 PM | I agree. Too much trouble to have to increase the text size every time you go to a new page. This is the only thing keeping me from using Chrome. |
| Re: Default Font Display size too small | mm | 1/1/09 11:23 AM | I agree. It would be nice to personalize/customize the font size so it applies to all websites. It really is a pain having to do it each and every time I access a new site. |
| Re: Default Font Display size too small | Sarah57 | 1/3/09 9:07 AM | I have no answer to this but really want it to be addressed. I will post feedback - thanks for the link dbar2! |
| Re: Default Font Display size too small | dbar2 | 1/3/09 2:02 PM | I am forwarding this entire thread to Google Chrome feedback. Maybe they'll do something, seeing how many people are commenting on this issue.... |
| Re: Default Font Display size too small | dbar2 | 1/3/09 2:07 PM | Just sent this to Google Chrome feedback... "alot of people are commenting on your default font size being too small..It's true! see this link below.. thanks! http://www.google.com/support/forum/p/Chrome/thread?tid=389f306a52817110&hl=en&fid=389f30 |
| Re: Default Font Display size too small | monksgold | 1/3/09 8:10 PM | i am having the same problem with web pages, and the toolbar. please help! i love chrome so easy to use. |
| Re: Default Font Display size too small | agraham | 1/4/09 4:18 PM | Testify! Respect Window Display Properties DPI setting. It's there for a reason. |
| Re: Default Font Display size too small | dbar2 | 1/4/09 4:50 PM | agraham, this does not change all web pages. Many people have changed the DPI, but some pages retain the small font. ie. Many news pages. Google Chrome needs to have a minimum font size. |
| Re: Default Font Display size too small | jclin | 1/9/09 12:57 AM | Basically, the Chrome browser is based on WebKit. There are some webkit internal font setting options for font family, font size, etc. Using text editor to open "Documents and Settings\User_Name\Local Settings\Application Data\Google\Chrome\User Dat |

| Re: Default Font Display size too small | titantiger | 1/12/09 4:12 PM | jclin, I can't find that file anywhere. I don't have a Local Settings folder on my system that I can find. Is there anywhere else this file would be? |
| Re: Default Font Display size too small | Mattheq | 1/12/09 4:49 PM | I also can't find that file, and this is a serious issue for me. There are basically two things preventing me from switching to Chrome, and this is one of them. |
| Re: Default Font Display size too small | jclin | 1/12/09 5:00 PM | Local Settings is a hidden folder inside your personal account directory. You have to change the Folder Setting to show the hidden folders. Another method is that, click "Start" -> "Run", type "cmd" to have a terminal console. Then following the ste |
| Re: Default Font Display size too small | titantiger | 1/13/09 6:13 AM | Thanks. That worked. I couldn't get the editor to work in the command prompt. It wouldn't let me paste. So I went to Folder Options and had it show me hidden folders. I edited it in Notepad and it worked. Thanks! |
| Re: Default Font Display size too small | Dalia | 1/14/09 12:53 AM | I found the "Chrome\User Data\Default\Preferences" file. It contained no "webkit". Anyhow, I edited it pasting the text jclin wrote, but there is no way I can save the changes. Any suggestion? Thanks. |
| Re: Default Font Display size too small | titantiger | 1/23/09 6:29 AM | This worked great on my XP system, but doesn't seem to work well on Vista. Chrome is closed and I save the file, but when I reopen Chrome, it clears out what I added. |

| Re: Default Font Display size too small | Phydough | 1/30/09 5:20 AM | I think I have identified the problem. I have a hi-res display (1680 x 1050) on a 15.4" laptop screen. The DPI scaling in Windows (96 DPI) is too small, so I set it to 120 DPI. This increases the size of fonts and icons in the OS and applications, |
| Re: Default Font Display size too small | Phydough | 1/30/09 6:37 AM | cmccormack, your suggestion works (Chrome ver 1.0.154.46), but I have to set the Serif and Sans-Serif font to somwhere between 18 and 22pt to match the "default" size in IE, depending on the page being viewed. 22pt would normally be very large by an |
