Text size

---

Prior to, or even after root, is there any way to change the default text sizes to a larger one. As an example, Weather.com on the Sensation versus on the Vibrant is almost unreadable in anything but perfect lighting conditions. Same thing with any solitaire app I've tried. Also (I'll try this again...) is there any way to change the default font, pre-root, or does it by definition involve a framework change? TIA...

Thanks for at least trying to look up the answer.
For changing the default font, sorry but no, root access only. And for changing the text sizes, honestly there isn't a app i know, even with root access, to change the font size. Maybe installing another font once we obtain root will fix the problem for you. Sorry i couldn't be more of more assistance.

EDIT: Use spare parts+ in the market. You can make the font larger there. Just tested for you. Doesn't really change the font size in the weather app though im afraid.

And, thank you for trying to get me an answer. I'm gonna have to decide whether there are too many little nitzy issues around to make keeping it worth it. I think if there was absolute, 100% certainty that we will be able to root eventually, I would stay with it. I am in no way brand-loyal, and am still pissed about the RFS file system, the GPS debacle and the FroYo non-updates, but truth be told, my Vibrant with it's currently ROM actually performs better than my Sensation. For example, about 10 minutes after a reboot the RAM indicator on See PU turns yellow and stays there. The Vibrant's almost always shows a full green bar. 1.2 Ghz processor/768 megs of RAM/Gingerbread? Big whoop! Sorry, just venting cause I'm bored. Thanks again...

Well of course its performing better, especially if its rooted. Your Samsung Vibrant isn't running Resource hog, unoptimized HTC sense 3.0. Just wait until we get root, your thoughts will change.

I know your finger is right on the pulse of the S-Off discussions. Would you "bet the rent money" that root is a certainty?
