Increase Meebo font size [closed]

Is there any way to increase the font size in Meebo?

Ideally I want the layout to not be affected (i.e. it shouldn't look broken), and I want the setting to only apply to Meebo and not all the other websites I visit.

Fixed text size in Google Docs?

Hi all I'm using Google Docs and usually when I paste text into the document the text size varies.

I can select all and set the font size, but this slowly gets annoying,

So I was wondering is there anyway we can set a "fixed" font size for a document? (in other words when I paste text from other sources in, the font size is still uniform throughout)

Font Search App [closed]

I read about an webapp that you can point at an image that contains text and it will tell you what font was used to create it.

Unfortunately I can't remember what it was called ... does anyone have a link?

Google Docs and international (Khmer) font support

I am glad that Google Docs at least recognizes and displays Khmer text now. Before, the script wouldn't appear at all. However, is there a way to select international fonts, like Khmer, so that Google Docs can effectively be used for non-English scripts in which special fonts are needed?

How can I set the default font size in Google Reader? [closed]

I know that I can increase the font size for the current item by pressing =, but how can I set the default size? I'm tired of having to hit = twice every time I come back to Google Reader, especially since I primarily use the mouse with it, and it's annoying to switch to the keyboard just to up the font size.

Is there a web service that is able to "guess" the font of a text?

For example, I have an image shown below:

enter image description here

The text is "Type text or a website" and the text color is #666666. What may be the best guess of the font used?

As another example, I have an image shown below:

enter image description here

The text is "DESIGN PAINTING" and the text color is #343434. What may be the best guess of the font used?

Google Docs - Can I have other fonts such as Calibri, Cambria which are by default what Office 2007 uses?

I write my documents using Office 2007 (both at home and at work). I upload it to Google Docs so that they are always available for me to edit/rework. The problem that I face is this -

In MS Word 2007, I have the fonts Cambria/Calibri which is what comes up by default (for headings/body respectively).

In Google Docs, we have neither. Is there a way, we can add fonts to Google Docs or preserve the fonts atleast?

Gmail: Composing emails with 11pt or 12pt font size?

Is it possible to compose an email in Gmail with an 11pt or 12pt font size?
(In a way that the recipient also sees the font size difference.)

As of Feb 2015, the only options available are:

Normal (around 10pt)
Large (around 13.5pt)
Huge (around 24pt)

Gmail font size: small, normal, large, huge

Would love to know if someone is aware of a plugin, browser extension or workaround to enable this?

Blogger changes font on my blog after rendering text in Arial

I have my blog hosted on Blogger. Previously I had set the font to Arial. Recently I set to a better looking webfont Arimo. After changing the font I have observed that whenever my blog loads up It first displays the text in Arial (I presume) and then in Arimo.

This action after the page is completely loaded and very quickly, kind of in the blink of an eye. After rendering the text displays completely fine. But Arial-to-Arimo transition does not look good.

Why does this happen? Is there a solution for it? Is this because of webfont?

How to write in super large letters in an ordinary textfield

I came across a YouTube whose title was made of use letters that were not part of its logo. Here is the link:

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oZkgIjJlsxA

These letters are considered part of the text and provide a huge advantage over other videos in terms of visibility.

My question is, how did the makers of this video create these giant letters? Is it a special font, or perhaps a hack using some foreign writing system?

Use Computer Modern font on Draft

I just started to use https://draftin.com/ it seems really cool, but I would love to customize it a little.

In the settings there is a text entry box where you can set the writing font for your documents. The page says a little below:

By default we use source-code-pro at 1.125em and a light grey color. But you can use whatever you want and your system supports.

There isn't much more guidance for which fonts are supported, other than a few hyperlinks in the description of some other popular fonts. (See the pic below.)

How do I know which fonts are supported by my system? How would I add to this set of fonts if the one I want to use is not currently supported? My ultimate goal is to be able to use LaTeX's Computer Modern font.
