Re: Controlling font size when composing email ?

In that case one needs a straight magnification/contraction capability. In my case for unicode-8 the font chosen/used by the system is miniscule, and my sight is not all that good anymore. :-( Anyway it would be most convenient in other cases as well. The Unicode should generally be the Other Languages category, but I've found it doesn't have any effect for me since quite some time, also. Documents encoded using some UTF variant generally pick my settings for Cyrillic fonts (probably picked up from my system default encoding). Saying the above, try adjusting your font size for all of: Western Central European Cyrillic Other Languages to see if it would make difference for you when the document/composition encoding is set to UTF-8. -- Stanimir ___ support-seamonkey mailing list support-seamonkey@lists.mozilla.org https://lists.mozilla.org/listinfo/support-seamonkey

It works with the touchpad on my netbook, for example - the gesture used to scroll. For the rest, the default font size (possibly adjusted by the user) when composing should be o.k. without need to zoom in/out (see my second reply to this thread). I guess that's why there's no Ctrl +/- key bindings in the composition window. -- Stanimir ___ support-seamonkey mailing list support-seamonkey@lists.mozilla.org https://lists.mozilla.org/listinfo/support-seamonkey

Because when you are composing mail, or a web page you have already set the font size. You have already set the minium fort size to read a message, or web page. Try resetting Edit/Preferences/Appearance/Fonts to what ever you want to read. Michael G Mr. Gordon Please try your own advice with messages that have unicode(UTF-8) as their encoding. :-) First to read and then to compose such. :-) Пане ґордон Будь ласка, спробуйте свою власну пораду на чимсь, що є в кодуванні Юнікод (UTF-8).

This workaround is a well hidden trick. i.e. connecting screen zoom to the mouse wheel. Now if it'd just get documented. So it wasn't just a trick someone discovered and remembered.
