Fonts Size in Thunderbird

Support & Help Requests
#1

Hi there,

I´m having a problem related with the sizes of fonts into Thunderbird. My Laptop is a Dell XPS 13. Works perfectly with Ubuntu Mate almost out of the box (it was Windows version, not anymore… ) but the size with the Hdpi screens is a pain in the ass. I resolved the size on Desktop and rest of apps increasing the size of the fonts on Preferences. Thunderbird seems to have its own will because I change the size of the fonts inside de app´s preference but doesn´t work at all. Don´t change. The same if I change the size with ctrl + +, change during that session but if you close and open again Thunderbird text is again really tiny. Any idea??

Thanks guys.

I may have mis-understood your actions regarding TBird - if so apologies.
TBird has it's own preferences that can be accessed 2 ways after launching it.

1 - menu bar >Edit >Preferences
2 - three small vertical lines on right

Hi pfeiffep,

You were right, It was there where I was trying to change the size. I realised what was the problem. Thunderbird was still downloading emails because was a new configuration and didn´t reflect the change until all the email were downloaded.

Cheers.
