How to Change Font Size on a Mac

Step 1: Open System Preferences

The first step in changing the font size on a Mac is to open the System Preferences. This can be done by either clicking the Apple icon in the top left of the screen and selecting “System Preferences”, or by opening the Finder, selecting “Applications”, then “System Preferences”.

Step 2: Select Accessibility

Once the System Preferences window is open, select the “Accessibility” icon. This will open the Accessibility window, which includes several sections for different accessibility settings.

Step 3: Choose Display

In the Accessibility window, select the “Display” option located near the top of the window. This will open the Display settings, which include the ability to change font size.

Step 4: Adjust Font Size

In the Display settings, there is a slider that allows you to adjust the font size of your Mac’s display. Move the slider to the left to decrease the font size, or to the right to increase the font size.

Step 5: Confirm Changes

Once you have adjusted the font size to your desired level, click the “Confirm” button located at the bottom of the window. This will save your changes and the font size will be updated.

Step 6: Check Font Size

To make sure the font size has been updated, open a document or an application on your Mac and check the font size. If the font size is still not the desired size, repeat steps 2-5 until you have achieved the desired font size.

Step 7: Close System Preferences

Once you have confirmed the changes, close the System Preferences window by clicking the red “X” in the top left corner of the window. You can now enjoy the new font size on your Mac.

Changing the font size on a Mac is a simple process and can be done in just a few steps. By following the steps outlined above, you can easily adjust the font size on your Mac to make it easier to read and use.
