Help Keyboard settings

[chukka63]

Is there anyway of making the actual "type box" font bigger.With my dodgy eyes i struggle to make out certain wordas without glasses and i never carry glasses with me.
I use handcent so don't know if i can get a different keyboard or change the settings on the one i have.

Turning the phone sideways (landscape) might help.

You can certainly install other keyboards (Android will use whatever keyboard you set as default, across all applications), but I don't know if the others have bigger fonts. I think swype/swiftkey have the same font.

But as JBentleyR indicated, the landscape mode may work better

Under Display, Font size, the choices are: small,normal, large and huge. I hope this helps.

I've set my font size up but in the type box it's still small.That's what i wanna make bigger.It's hard to read,once i press send i can see it clearly as the font is then to a readable size for me.

Have you tried Settings>Accessibility>Large text?
Also Swiftkey app may help.

In a word, NO, at least nothing stock, other than going into landscape mode. I too wish the text box were larger. My old Optimus M had a larger text box. Other than d/l 3rd party text apps, looks like we are stuck with the moronic single line text box.
