How do you increase the font size in osx? I'm running a high resolution and was wondering if I could kickup the font size.

Thanks

Don't think you can. I believe only by pixels meaning lower resolution. I only know of doing browser font size but globally I don't know.

Howdy! Your question is VERY long but it has a short answer.

First, change your mac system fonts here:
Click your desktop (not an app file, drive or the dock) or your Finder, then go to the View menu at the top. Then choose View Options. There you can change your system fonts.

Second, your program font size. Usually you change this from within the program itself since I think it's independent of the system fonts. However, try a large system font and see if that affects your program fonts. Something like 15 or 16pt is large, 8 or 9 is small.
