Re: Change contacts window font size?

Are you talking about Windows Mail?

I don't think you can change just the contacts font, but you can adjust the font size DPI for everything in Windows by right-clicking the desktop, choosing "Personalize", clicking "Adjust font size (DPI)" in the upper left, and checking "Larger scale (120 DPI)" or you can specify a custom DPI.

Or there is always the Magnifier:
Start -> All Programs -> Accessories -> Ease of Access -> Magnifier

Hope that helps.

Not intentionally.

I'm talking about "Windows Live Messenger", as in the name of this
group and the title bar of the program window. Specifically, the
main window, the window that lists contacts in various groups. I
have contacts listed by e-mail address so that the order doesn't
change frequently. Need to change the font size.

Greetings John,

Unfortunately no, at least not without checking Windows' general fonts.
