How to change the font size of the programs running in JBed?

[trueg]

The following registry settings control the font sizes for apps running in JBed.

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Apps\Esmertec Java\Device Info\Java Font]
"Size Large"="26"
"Size Medium"="20"
"Size Small"="16"

You may need to create the Device Info & Java Font keys since they are not created by default. I know they change the font with JBed 20080912_5_1, not sure about older versions.

Since I was at it, I tested these registry settings against Jbed 20080418_2_1 and they do not make a difference. They may only effect 20080912_5_1, which makes sense because the default fonts in 20080912_5_1 are larger than any previous build I have seen. See attached screen shots to compare Extra Large in 20080418 vs Extra Large in 20080912.

Note: these are on a 320x240 screen, but they give you an idea of the difference.

Just to round out my triple play, when using Jbed 20080912_5_1, you need to enter the following font values to restore the familiar font sizes used in previous releases (ideal for QVGA), otherwise you get the giant fonts (ideal for VGA) as posted above....

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Apps\Esmertec Java\Device Info\Java Font]
"Size Large"="16"
"Size Medium"="14"
"Size Small"="11"

Opera Mini note:
If you are attempting to customize the font based on how Opera Mini looks, take note of the following....
Under Menu\Tools\Settings\Font size:
Extra large = "Size Large"
Large = "Size Medium"
Medium = "Size Small"
Small = can not be change using the above registry settings.

This is the version of JBed included in the most recent AT&T Fuze ROM (HTC Raphael). I've attached it here for your convenience.

I removed the AT&T crap. The default font sizes are ideal for VGA screens (I had to change them for my lowly QVGA ELFin). This is the OEM Package for cooking. The only new files are jbed.exe & ieplugin.dll, so feel free to just copy them over to your device if you don't cook.

I've just merged folders, placed it in my Internal Storage and installed Gmail and Opera mini, it works perfectly! Thank you trueg!

No worries. How do the fonts look on your VGA screen?

[banesi]

just perfect, I wouldn't touch anything, even slightly lowered my font size settings in mini opera to "large", font size in Gmail is slightly smaller but better than anything I saw by now on Diamond

This is really good news as JBLEND is not as good as JBED in my opinion.

Let the play begin and thank you guys.

Most programs (Gmail included) use the "Size Small"="16" value. If you up the value it would increase the font size accordingly.
