Do you find it difficult to read text on your Mac desktop or MacBook laptop? Don’t worry, you’re not alone. Fortunately, there are a few simple ways to change the font size on your Mac. In this article, we’ll show you how to do it step-by-step.
Method One: Changing Font Size via System Preferences
The first method involves going to System Preferences. To get there, click on the Apple icon in the top left corner of your screen, then click on System Preferences. Once in the menu, scroll down to the very bottom row and find an icon that looks like a monitor and says Displays. Click on that, then go up to the top and click on Resolution. By default, “Default for display” should be checked. Change that to “Scaled,” and you’ll be given a few options to scale everything on your screen from icons to windows to text size.
To make things smaller, click on “More Space.” If you want to make things larger, go further to the left. You can choose the setting that you prefer, and they get pretty absurdly large, but it’s cool that they implement stuff like this.
Method Two: Customizing Font Size via Menu Bar
Another way to change the font size is by clicking on View in the top menu bar, then selecting Show View Options (or using the keyboard shortcut Command J). Here, you can customize the size of icons, grid spacing, and text size. Although there are not too many options for increasing or decreasing the text size, they make a pretty big difference when you do them. You can make the text smaller or much larger, depending on your preference. You can also do the same thing with icons or grid spacing.
In conclusion, changing the font size on your Mac is a pretty useful setting to be aware of, and not something that you have to struggle with. By following these simple steps, you should be able to adjust the display of stuff on your screen, especially the text size on your Mac. We hope this article helped you out.
