Screen Font Too Small?

By , About.com GuideApril 27, 2013

Follow me on:

I get letters almost every day from grateful people who have found this blog about what to do when your screen font becomes teeny tiny, so I repost it every once in a while.

Somehow, the font on my screen had become so tiny I was hunched over my laptop to read it. Not good.

I reached out in frustration to my fellow guides at About, and learned that Ctrl + will increase the size. It was like a little miracle! Sometimes it's the small things (not fonts!) that make a person happy.

If you can't read your screen anymore and the problem isn't your glasses, try Ctrl + on a PC, Command + on a Mac.

And if you go too far and the font becomes giant, you can make it smaller with Ctrl - (PC) or Command - (Mac).

Public service announcement for the day.

I’m so glad you found this, Rose. I use this all the time. AND, I should have added that Ctrl – makes it smaller, in case you go too far! lol.

Hi Lori,
I felt the same way! I was so frustrated, and then someone just mentioned to me casually how to fix it. What a small but amazing gift. I’m happy to pass it along!

Recent Windows update changed my fonts to small. Settings indicated they were still set at medium. Spent a lot of time trying Windows and Explorers suggestions. Nothing worked.

Found your suggestion and within 1 second, I could read again!

Thank you.

(23) Deb Peterson says:

I’m sorry, Abbey. This is the only way I know. Your screen font will depend somewhat on the browser you use. Explore the menu items across the top of your screen and look for anything that has to do with View or Fonts. Good luck!

Now that I made my font bigger, I can’t get my E-mail all on one screen. I want to be able to see it all at one time. Then, how do you take it back to what it was?

November 25, 2011 at 8:27 am
(45) Deb says:

Nancy, Ctrl (or command) – will reduce your font again. Ctrl + makes it bigger, Ctrl – makes it smaller. Easy!

(59) Carolsue says:

OMG! I love you! I have been trying so many different things to do this and almost ruined my blog in the process. I thought this CTRL + would just make it larger temporarily, but it stays that way! This has happened in the past and I wonder if this is what I did to make it that way (hit CTRL -) by mistake. Each time I had the feeling I hit a key(s) by accident but I didn’t know what I did or how to reverse it! THANK YOU.

February 4, 2012 at 8:45 am
(60) Chimein says:

Yes! I can’t say it was a toddler but, me who hit the wrong key. I had no idea how to fix it or what key I hit even, until now. Thank you for the quick and effective fix.

Many thanks,

(62) jqpal says:

I found out that when my fonts, while online, suddenly got too large. At the bottom right hand of my computer, there is what you click on to make the fonts larger or smaller. 100% works for me–if it is too small, you can change it to 125% or 150%, and change it anytime. If I happen to have a hard time reading it at 100%, I can change it just for the time being and return to 100%. Didn’t cost me anything to find this out.

Or on a PC you can press Ctrl and roll the button on your mouse (mine is between the left and right click buttons.)

April 3, 2012 at 1:41 pm

I would add that hitting Ctrl and 0 (Number zero) returns to the original size (equivalent to 100%).

OMG, I could kiss you!!!! I accidentally shrunk my font about a week ago, spent an hour trying to figure it out, finally gave up. Somehow it corrected itself days later (or maybe my kids did it). Today I did it again and couldn’t fathom spending another wasted hour trying to figure it out. Google’d the question and there was your answer- short, to the point and most important- correct!!!

(124) Steve says:

The zoom feature also works with Ctrl and the Scroll wheel on the mouse and it take smaller steps than the + and -.

The Zoom feature you describe works with many programs but it does not change the menu and tool bar sized. Sometimes these are too small with newer computer.

This is becoming a big problem with notebooks because the manufacturers keep going to higher and higher resolutions and wide screens for movie watching.

When you buy a notebook you should shop for the lowest screen resolution.

To compare models, I have this PPI calculator you can use to get the smalles Pixels Per Inch screen. It nice to find a display below 100 PPI and around 92 if you can find it.

(132) Joe C Medellin Jr says:

You stated that having a decree earns you more money. I agree, however, this is true in the private sector, as far as I know, not in the government. In the gov’t you get promoted on “WHO you know” and “NOT on what you know!” The gov’t says that you have a decree, so you are smart, but they are put in areas such as Logictics, when the person has a Biology, Chemistry, Mortuary, Art, Nursing, etc. decree. Also, if one has a decree, it does not mean that he learned something. They just memorized the material to pass the so-called useless curriculum in the decree they want. So, I say if you have a decree, go and apply with the gov’t. I love your web-link, it has awesome information on topics that I enjoy reading and researching…GRACIAS!!!!!!!

I was hoping this would help the problem I am having but it doesn’t. Suddenly the font size in title bars is microscopic. I need a magnifying glass to read it but the text in the browser is fine. I can’t use the windows magnifier because I need to type in one place and see text in another.

Good idea but does using CTL + and – mean the larger font
Is maintained when the text is printed? I find often that text which is easily readable on-screen prints off in tiny font.

It was quite well know but anyways might be useful for many in developing countries who just have started using computers. I need to know, how to increase font size when I’m taking print of webpage?

Thank you! I flipped out. Knew I had hit something by mistake, and could not figure out what. I realized after reading your easy reply that I had meant to hit Shift -, to get _, and had mistakenly hit control -. Sent a largely unreadable, long email to a friend. Just resent it, and told her we need a woman president, too. You saved my day, my evening, and my sanity.
So glad I didn’t waste hours or days w/some techie who wouldn’t know grass from you know what.

(312) Ruth says:

Not a solution! I just downloaded Google Chrome and EVERYTHING got too small! I already use the CTRL+, but the fonts have changed and now everything is so hard to read! What am I supposed to do: sit ON the table???
It is very upsetting to think that all IT people and designers think in terms of 20 Somersetting. EVERYONE is going to have this problem: I have news for all: as soon as you hit 40 (and it’s around the corner) you, too, will have to deal with minuscule size fonts and thin fonts.
Menes have thin fonts – and dark background!
are you insane?
Get with it: you are part of an all-age computer users.
Cant find how to change it.
And voice-reader – NOT AN OPTION.
I am very insulted that no mature person has been consulted how to design this search engine. Mature = anyone over 35, it seems.

March 15, 2013 at 5:07 am
(512) meeting room says:

I think that what you posted was actually very logical.
But, think about this, suppose you added a little information?
I mean, I don’t want to tell you how to run your website, however suppose you added a headline that makes people desire more? I mean Screen Font Too Small? is kinda vanilla. You ought to glance at Yahoo’s front page and see how they
write post titles to grab viewers to open the links. You might try adding a
video or a picture or two to get readers interested about everything’ve got to say. Just my opinion, it could make your blog a little livelier.

yo can also use control and your scroll wheel to do the same thing.

April 4, 2013 at 2:22 pm
(535) ARTFRI says:

By this time some others may have suggested this approach to increasing/decreasing font size which has the advantage- you only have to hold down the CRTL key and use the your scroll wheel (or ball) -
forward to increase size or back to decrease. The change is smooth and continuous so you can go exactly where you want to be sizewise.
You will find some texts that will not allow this process. But try it. You may like it.
