Ironman273 Posted May 15, 2009 Share Posted May 15, 2009 I have a friend who got a Mac Mini and connected it to his TV. He's running it in 1080p but pretty much everything is unreadable when sitting across the room. Is there somewhere that you can set "large fonts" so it would reflect it across the OS?

Olemus Posted May 15, 2009 Share Posted May 15, 2009 Never used a Mac but i googled for you and the first result gave me "if you need to increase the text/icon size you can do that from your view settings in the menu bar, when you have finder open."

Ironman273 Posted May 15, 2009 Author Share Posted May 15, 2009 Yeah, that changes the font size under the icons, but that's it. The menu bar stays small and unreadable. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ironman273 Posted May 16, 2009 Author Share Posted May 16, 2009 what size tv does he have that it's unreadable? It's a 52". Not going to happen for the rest of the GUI...we all know Apple is working of Vectorizing the GUI for scalability reasons, but its not there yet. Ahh, I guess that's the answer I needed. OK, thanks.

giga Veteran Posted May 16, 2009 Veteran Share Posted May 16, 2009 Quartz Debug dpi scaling is really what you want, but it's not really complete as of yet. I'd suggest using the zoom feature with your mouse/keyboard. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Denis W. Veteran Posted May 16, 2009 Veteran Share Posted May 16, 2009 Weird, I was under the impression OS X did a good job with DPI scaling up until now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr_Edwardo Posted May 16, 2009 Share Posted May 16, 2009 Something you may find useful.. if you need to zoom in on a piece of text (or anything), hold CTRL and scroll with your mouse. Should zoom the whole screen! If it doesn't work, you may need to enable it under mouse + keyboard settings. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
