It isn't just font size that is important. It is font colour and background colour because contrast is even more important. I have a visual impairment (2/60) and I need both.

Actually, implementing a basic, configurable text size is pretty easy, you just need a setting value (a number, default 1.0) that you multiply the text size with. The problem is that all UI elements...

As I need more and more a reading glasses I too would like to have a global minimal font size setting and default font size ("small / medium / large / extra large"). We all get older :-)

At least the current font has to be changed. It's too weak to be read. How about Nokia Pure font, it's clear and smooth.

specifically, in text messages, one's own sent texts are in a smaller font than the ones received. I don't see a reason for that, except if you badly want to save screen space. The font size of...
