How to change the Lotus Notes display font? 1

Hi,
When you say you have changed the font to "large", do you mean you have changed the font in Windows or Lotus Notes?
To change to large fonts in Windows:
1. Select Control Panel
2. Select Display
3. Select Settings tab.
4. Select Large fonts (you'll have to restart Windows, and if large fonts aren't loaded, you may have to load them from the Windows CD).
To change the default fonts in Lotus Notes:
1. Select File->Preferences->User Preferences
2. Click "Basics"
3. If "Small" icons are selected, select "Medium" or "Large"
4. Click "Default Fonts" button and select a font that is bigger in general than the default fonts selected. For instance, instead of "Times Roman" for the serif font, select "Garamond" and instead of "Helv" or "Arial" for the default sans-serif and/or multilingual font, select "Verdana."
5. Exit and restart Notes for the changes to take effect.
Hope this helps. Ola kakou aloha,

Hi,
If you add the Display_Font_Adjustment variable to your notes.ini file, start at the low end of the value scale, for example,
Display_Font_Adjustment=1
The value of this variable behaves similarly to the SIZE="+n" attribute for the FONT tag in HTML, where "+1" indicates "one size up" from the default font, which in HTML pretty much doubles the font size.

Hi again,
Something I forgot to mention in my previous post(s):
Assuming you're using Notes R5, if you are also using the legacy desktop ("Workspace"
as opposed to the bookmark bar, then changing the default fonts in User Preferences, or adding the Display_Font_Adjusment variable to the notes.ini file affects the "Use Textured Workspace" option. That is, changing default fonts or using the notes.ini variable disables the "textured" workspace option.
I haven't been able to find a notes.ini entry I could use to turn on the textured workspace when the fonts or font sizes have been customized. However, if I have to choose between "texture" and "easier to read", I'll take "easier to read" every time.

To change font size, add this line to Notes.ini file "display_font_adjustment=?" (no quotes)
Replace ? with any number from 0 to 25. (0 is the default size and 25 is the largest)
Hit the enter Key twice <enter><enter>. This creates an emply line after the last line of code. Without this empty line the last line of code is not read.
Do a File save.
