Hi,
Is there a way to increase the font size for the Sharepoint site? I've had some complaints that the font is too small and hard to read. I tried looking through the different themes, but that seems to just change the font type and not the size. Thanks.

that's not a function of SharePoint, but rather a function of their browser and OS. They can raise the font dpi of their machine or raise the text size of their browser at any time.SharePoint Architect || Microsoft MVP || My Blog

Wouldn't that increase the font size of all internet sites? They only want to increase the font on Sharepoint, so my question was if there is a way to specifically increase the font size on sharepoint. For example, the "Team Site Owner" is something that we've set our own font style and size for and we'd like to do the same for the "Links", but i can't remember how we did it for "Team Site Owner".

Not that I've ever seen. The font should be consistent with the rest of the sites viewed in that browser.SharePoint Architect || Microsoft MVP || My Blog

Ok, i couldn't picture what you were trying to tell me and how that might affect everything else that they do, so i tried it myself. Were you talking about going to "View", "Text Size" and then changing the settings for the internet browser? If so, i tried it and it doesn't actually change anything for the Sharepoint site. It did make the font larger on this forum, but not on Sharepoint. Also, this solution would make all websites that they view have the larger text size and i am looking for a solution to changing ONLY the font size on Sharepoint. Thanks.

Of course you can, open the site in Sharepoint Designer 2010, open the CSS stylesheet and modify the corresponding styles there.

What font are you referring to exactly? The navigation, quick launch, web part, general body text? If you want to increase everything then follow centiva's suggestion and open the corev4.css file using SPD. You can change the body text (line 2192 - if you haven't modified the out of the box css file) which is at 8pt by default. Nick Hurst

Hi,
in SharePoint Css most font-size you will find is set to pt, em or % font-size, but som are with a concrete value which set the font size in px. If you wan't to increase the font size to all your SharePoint Site you need to develop a custom css or custom theme which has a larger font size.
Font size specified in pt, em or % value will also increase if you set the text size. Pixel value will not increased by setting the "text size".
kind regards
Stefan
