How does one change the font size(s) on the EVO Shift 4G?

 

Indeed, I found out you can't. And, you are right, you can change fonts within "some" of the apps, but NOT others, that's why I was looking for some global font setting for my older eyes You know, something like changing the DPI setting on your computer monitor and then not having to worry about an app having a font setting, or not.

I also found out that one can root the phone and then change the screen density which would indeed be equivalent to the DPI setting, but I am not familiar enough with the process, so I have to figure out if I can live with using reading glasses each time I have to make/receive a call, send a text, etc. or bring it back and opt for an anachronistic crackberry ;-) Pitty, because I think this is a good, powerful phone.

 

I have been looking around to replace most of the stock apps with ones that have font size control and so far I've been able to find some that will allow me to use the phone and change the font sizes. So far I have switched to Handcent for messaging and K-9 Mail for email and I am having an easier time. Of course, that doesn't help with the home screen, the apps screen, but I can recognize the little icons, so it's not that bad

Now, if I could find a Facebook app that lets me change the font size, I think I'd be O.K. with this phone. Between the font size and font color in the Facebook for android app, I can't read it at all :-(
