Font Size in received Emails?

Problem/Query:

How do I make the font size of the text contained in all emails which I have received bigger with HCL Notes 12?

I have gone to File - Preferences - Fonts, Colors and Themes - Font and tried both “Large” and “Extra Large”. These options make all fonts bigger. However I would like to just increase the font size in Emails which I have received. Increasing the font size in emails I send is not a problem - I just select the text in a new email which I am about to send, change the font and font size as wished and then select the text and choose “Text” → “Current font as default”.

Hi Andrew,

You can utilize the notes.ini parameter Display_font_adjustment=x, where x is the number of points added to the default font size. The value of x can range from 0 to 25.

Note that this affects all displayed fonts, not just those in received emails.

Thank you.

I add the line Display_font_adjustment=22 to the end of the notes.ini file and restarted the Notes client. However it did not make any difference to font size.

I used to change the mail template (or directly the design of the database, when for myself) to achieve things like that. Maybe not ideal but usually it worked well :wink:

Hi Andrew

You may follow below steps. Always make these changes in a single database and check.

Thanks for this solution. I had been hoping to be able to change the default font on a per user basis using just the user preferences. However it seems that this is not possible :frowning:

Hi Andrew,

Could you please test this with ‘Display_font_adjustment=3’ and ensure there’s a line break after it if it was added at the end of the notes.ini file? I’ve tested this configuration on Windows 11 with Notes 14.5, and it worked as expected on my end.

If it’s still not working, we recommend opening a support case so we can investigate further.
