How to increase or decrease the VKontakte font on a computer?
After the redesign and total update of the site interface, the function of changing the font size disappeared, despite the fact that previously these parameters could be adjusted in “Settings”. But even now, users can increase or decrease the size of the displayed content on the site using standard tools in their browser. To zoom the site closer and thus enlarge the font, you just need to hold down the ctrl button and roll the mouse wheel forward. At the same time, a special window will appear in the upper right corner of the browser that will show the current page zoom. You can also control it using the “+” and “-“ buttons.
To return the size back or reduce it, hold down ctrl and roll the mouse wheel down.
Note!
By applying this method, you will be able to enlarge not only the displayed text on sites, but also all other content.
For smartphone and tablet
To enlarge the font in your gadget, open the page and spread your thumb and forefinger in different directions diagonally on the device, as if stretching the image. This will enlarge the page and allow you to easily read even the smallest font. The reverse action will help return everything to its original state.
Small font in browsers is a problem for many users. Some people are used to looking at monitor screens that have a screen diagonal of 15-19 inches and a resolution of 1024x768. In such monitors, icons, fonts, and generally all content were displayed in an enlarged form. People may also have vision problems, making it difficult to see small print on modern widescreen monitors. When communicating on social networks, for example, VKontakte, you need to constantly type your messages and read incoming ones. At this moment, I would like to provide the most comfortable conditions for the eyes, so the question arises - how to increase the font in contact? This can be done in three ways - by setting up the browser, setting the system font size or the overall screen resolution.
We will look at universal methods and, therefore, by changing the settings on your computer, other sites will also open in the desired version.
How to increase or decrease the “VKontakte” font in the application?
In the official application for mobile devices, this function remains in the standard settings. To set the appropriate parameters, you must first go to the main menu by selecting the icon with three horizontal stripes at the bottom, and then click on the gear button in the upper right corner.
Next, you need to select “Basic”.
Here you should go to the “Font Size” section and select the desired item in the list. There are three different text display options to choose from, with small, medium and large fonts.
Bold text in message
There is only one way to make text bold in a private message. Previously, special online text conversion services were used for this. With the help of such sites, you could create text using any font and send it to a friend. Now, to highlight words or sentences, you need to resort to the vulnerability of the social network. To send text with bold emphasis, follow the instructions:
- Go to the page of the person you want to send the text to.
- Under his avatar, click the send message button.
- Write your message at least 201 characters long, including spaces.
- After the required amount of text has been printed, an additional field entitled “Subject” will appear in the window. Whatever you write on this line will be in bold. This field has a limitation. You will not be able to print text longer than 64 characters.
- Send a letter.
Important! If you go into the conversation after sending a message, you will not see any highlighted text. The fact is that bold text will only be displayed by the recipient. To see this, try an experiment with your friend.
The function that allows you to specify the topic of the article was developed for business correspondence. But no one forbids using it for your own purposes.

How to increase or decrease the “VKontakte” font in the mobile version?
As in the full version of the site, on m.vk.ru it is currently not possible to change the text size through the settings. But at the same time, the built-in capabilities of the mobile browser itself remain. Using Google Chrome for a smartphone as an example, let's look at how to set the appropriate settings. First, in the upper right browser window, click on the button with three dots.
In the list that appears, select “Settings”.
Next you need to go to the “Special Features” section.
Here you need to move a special slider to reduce or increase the font size to the required level. In the window below you can immediately monitor the result, which will help optimize the text size.
Create your own style
Additional plugins that expand the capabilities of the browser can change the font in VK. Using the example of the most popular and effective extension, let’s look at how it works.
Before you change the font in VK, you need to determine its style. The standard text editor Microsoft Word will help you figure this out. Create a document, then write any phrase. You can then experiment with the font's appearance, size, and color using the built-in tools. This is required in order to know what it is called and what its size is in pixels.
It should be noted that not all fonts are suitable for Cyrillic. You can download additional styles for free on the official Microsoft website.
When you have decided, proceed to its integration on the site. To change the font in VK on a computer, from the official Google extension store. After installation, you must log in to the system or create a new account.
An add-on icon will appear at the top of the browser - click on it with the left mouse button.
Then do the following:
- The main plugin interface will open. Go to settings by clicking on the three dots icon at the top.
- From the menu that appears, select “Create Style.”
- The editor window will open. Working with him is not difficult, as it seems at first glance.
Let's look at how to use the editor to create and change your own font for VK:
- In the field on the right, called “Code 1,” write body with curly braces. All information will be written in these brackets. And the code itself implies that the style will be applied to all VK pages.
- For ease of use, place the cursor after the first curly brace and press the Enter key twice.
- To make a different font in VK, write its name after the first bracket. It will look something like this font-family: Times New Roman. Be sure to include a semicolon after the title ;.
- To change the size of the letters, write font-size after the semicolon, and after the colon enter the font size in pixels. For example, font-size: 24px. Then put ;.
- You can change the font style using the code font-style followed by the value. Regular is normal, oblique is obique, and italic is italic.
- After the semicolon, determine the color of the letters. To do this, use the color code and write the value separated by a colon, for example, green.
To ensure that the created font is displayed correctly on all pages of the social network, add the words div, span, and separated by a comma after the body.
As a result, you should get the following inscription: body {font-family: times new roman; font-size: 24px; font-style: italic; color: green} div, span, a. Before writing in a different font in VK, click on the “Save” button to the left of the editor window, and then click “Finish”.
Make sure there is a checkmark next to the Enable option.
How to make an unusual VKontakte status?
According to the site's editors, 3 methods are the best. Each of them is described below.
Method 1: Copy special characters
VK has support for many original symbols that are not so easy to find in real life. You can use them to create a new cool status. We can get them in two ways: copy them from thematic groups (example) on VKontakte or transfer them from the Word text editor. In the case of a text application, you need to go to the “Insert” tab, click on the “Symbol” element and select “Other Symbols”. Most likely there is no need to explain how to copy the found symbols, so we will refrain from this process.
Method 2: Using Fonts in Text Editors
Another simple method for which both a regular notepad and a more functional office set are suitable.
How to change the font:
- Open an editor, for example Word.
- We write or insert a phrase that should take the place of the status.
- Select it and click on the drop-down list in the “Font” block.
- Select the appropriate font, copy the text and paste it into the status bar.
- Right-click on the place where the status is displayed and select “View element code”.
- We find a line with text (to speed up the procedure, we can use the search using Ctrl + F).
- Click on the tag next to it and add the value font-family=”Bell MT” or another font name to it.
Method 3: turning words online
This unique font allows you to display any words upside down. It has no additional settings or features. Here is a link to the service. Just type and then click “Reverse Text.” Funny status ready
Method 4: a unique font made from special characters
To implement the idea, we will use a special service. Here's a link to it. The idea is simple - we enter any status, and it is automatically converted into an unusual combination of special characters that form the specified text. The advantage of the service is that VK supports all symbols in the original version, that is, the result can be copied and pasted without changing. Another advantage is several original methods for displaying status.
Why change the font on Android
Before you change the font on your Android phone, you need to find out what prompts you to do this. There are many reasons why users change fonts, their style and sizes, but in most cases they are based on aesthetics and comfort. Most often, people just want their gadget to look individual and unique. Even if it is only within the interface itself. This allows you to give the device a new look, moving away from the standard design of the operating system or its shell.
You can change the font to aesthetically improve the interface
Note! There is another motivation - poor vision. Due to illness, some people simply cannot see what exactly is written on the screen, they become overexerted and often lose sight of important details and settings, which can later play a cruel joke on them.
According to the standard, the system font has only four configurations for changing:
- font family. It's the same style. The default style is Roboto. It can be replaced with Calibri, Arial, Times New Roman, etc.;
- the outline itself. This setting determines whether the text will be straight, as always, or italic (oblique);
- saturation. Same as fat content. The options available are: regular, bold and bold;
- the size of the letters themselves. Measured in pins.
Important! All these configurations (weight, weight and type) are specified in the specific font file, and its sizes can be changed in the corresponding system settings.
Regardless of the reason for the desire to change the text parameters in the phone interface, this function is very important and useful, since it allows specialized applications to adjust font parameters and add new types.
