Im very happy with my new 27" iMac, theres just one thing im having issues with, its the very small text font sizes. Many apps have this issue and i dont know if it can be fixed. I mean, take for example Adobe apps in CS5, in Phsop the pallete fonts are so small that they are not be easily seen, this stands for other CS5 apps as well. Also another issue is the font used in Skyes communication tab, on the contrary in converstations font size can be enlargened.
Go figure :mad:
What can be done about this, my eyes are going bananas!

p.s. is there any knowledge if in Lion, these issues can be solved?

Click to expand...

System Preferences -> Universal Access -> Seeing
 
If you have a pointing device with a scroll wheel or scroll ring, you can hold down the Control key and scroll to zoom in and out. You can also change the size of icons in icon view in the Finder, as well as the font size in the list area. In a directory you view in icon mode, choose from toolbar Action > Show View Options then use the slider to change the icon size, and the menu list to change the font size. Also click Use As Defaults the first time. Also change the font size in list view.
 
You can also draw the iMac a little closer. The size of the display probably automatically makes you sit further away than on your older computer, and at the same time, the resolution is higher, so everything's a bit smaller. Move closer to the display. Problem solved.
