[Q] Why are all fonts I install so small?

So as the title asks... Why are all the fonts I install so small compared to the stock font?
I mean they are not "miniscule" but they appear quite a bit smaller than the stock font and are hard on the eyes.
Are they like this for everyone?

Even these ones ? http://www.appbrain.com/app/cleanex-flipfont/com.monotype.android.font.cleanex
And you didnt mess with LCD density right? (even though that would make all fonts small )

I will try this font. No... I have never messed with LCD Density in any way...
EDIT: So I installed that font you recommended but I dont really like it. Are there any others that you can recommend that will install full size?
I have installed some from the FLIPFONTS thread in Themes and Apps but they all instal to small.
Please let me know...

Haha, did you have the tiny fingers to use those icons effectively?

for some reason lcd density changer doesn't work for me

why would anyone even want to have so many and so small, icons on their desktops ?
It doesnt look very good, and it makes operating the phone difficult - I wouldent be able to hit these dotsized icons.

How did you get the boxes on the home screen with games,apps market ect to seperate them all???

Changing LCD Density

Hey,
I wanted to change the dpi in order to let the icons on my screen appear bigger.
But I don't know which values I should set since I don't really know how this works..
So could anybody tell me the values which won't brick my phone?
Thanks

use lcd density modder pro.
if you use the free version you will get play compatibility issues.

I used this app once, you need root access and that's it, there is a higher density and does make icons larger, i would lower it though

If u have root u can try changing the changing the dpi of the screen
LCD Resolution (Root) / Rom toolbox
but u need to use a diff launcher.. doesnt seem to work good with TW

I want to change the font size in every app, i m not rooted and i am back from root, so on stock if there is a way to reduce the size

yes reducing the DPI will reduce the fontsize and app icons as well

Or as shiv said, just adjust it in settings, there's an option for tiny, small large or extra large, works across the whole ui.

Chance fontsize

Hey guys,
I want to change my fontsize.. In the Settings, I set the fontsize to "small", but in my opinion, it's to big. ^^'
Can I change the fontsize in build.prop or somewhere else?
Thanks for your help.

Download rom toolbox from Google play.. Loads of fonts, so I'm sure there will be something for you.. There is a free version and a paid version... Both versions do so much more though than fonts...

He means use those apps to find a smaller font. Some fonts are just smaller than others even at the same setting.

Yes I know.. It was just an idea, to change the fontsize in build.prop or in database..
But okay.. Thanks for ur help.

Just checked that font out.. it's looks small enough. But then, my eyes are going lol.

Now I'm using the font 'Bauhaus'. It's very small (lovin it) and looks okay.
