Q: Font size

After the recent OS update, I have found that my font size has got smaller. I need to know how to make it a more user friendly size.

    Font size where? In which program? Safari? The setting for a minimum font size in Preferences was removed, but can still be achieved in Terminal by typing [replacing 14 by any number you wish]

     

    defaults write com.apple.Safari com.apple.Safari.ContentPageGroupIdentifier.WebKit2MinimumFontSize -int 14

    Thank you Luis, funny thing is my son gave me this solution, but it did not work when I tried it, I couldn't even change the font size. I tried again using your string, (I was able to change size to 16,) my husband could immediately see a change, but it looked the same to me. So I then went to 18, and it was much better many thanks.

    Is there anything like this to increase the minimum text size for the received messages to the Mail app on my iMac? Nearly 100% of the time I have to increase the text size. Really makes using Mail an extremely frustrating experience.

     

    I want to increase the minimum text size, not use zoom or change screen resolution.
