I would like to buy an ipaq 1930 for my father. His sight is not very good and I'm afraid the font is too small.

Is there any way to increase the size of the font and/or make it bold ? Please explain how.

Note: the contacts application of pocket outlook, where telephones and addresses are recorded is what he will use most of the time, but if possible I would like to get bigger and bold fonts for all applications.

Thanks

It is possible to modify the size and/or other attributes of the fonts by tweaking the registry. You can find the guide here (http://www.phm.lu/PocketPC/RegTweaks/) about this and many other tweaks.

If you don't feel comfortable with modifying the regisrty, there are easy to use tools availabe. Have a look ak Tweaks2k2 (http://www.pc-counselor.8m.com/downloads.htm) which can do the job for you.

Remember one thing though. Many PPC applications are not very friendly to fonts modification. Sometimes they dont obey these settings, other times results are unexpected (like garbled screen layout).
