My eyesight isn't so good for short-sighting; hence, i find the font size in the SMS threads to be very tiny. Is there a way to increase the font-size for the SMS threads (the screen that shows a single thread between 2 people smsing)? Really don't know why Apple didn't provide an option to use a bigger font size.

I search all over but can't find any possibility. Me using v1.1.4.

Thanks!

Then change the system fonts la but other apps or fonts display will be big too. There's an app that can change the system font to whatever u wish.

If i don't have difficulty reading, i wouldn't have said so in my initial posting la. The mail program allows different fonts, so no reason not to allow it in the SMS program. I've used an SMS-thread program in Windows Mobile which allows different fonts (prog is called PocketCM); it fact, u can pretty much customize everything - the bubble, the input window size, etc. and it's really nice. I hope Apple will allow some customization in the SMS program someday.

I got the same problem with my eye sight too... old man blindness smile.gif

Had problem reading the text from the preloaded sms then i switched to iSMS and i think the font size is a bit bigger and no more weird looking conversation bubbles.
