There is a trick that works on other HTC devices that also works on the TP for increasing the writing area in threaded message.
Basically edit the thread_sms.htm file and increase the height.
This is covered up on the Nebo blog with some of the details: http://nebowiki.blogspot.com/2008/11/increase-writing-area-in-threaded-sms.html.
Nice ... Thanks for the link.

there is a way to make more little the font in sms? in writing and reading?
try to turn the wheel.
?????
sorry? what you mean?
i need smaller font also in writing a sms
hm, sorry, scroling the wheel (that means to turn your thumb clockwise or anticlockwise around the large button in the lower center) only changes the size of the messages you received. I don't know whether it's possible to change only that size but
a) you can change the general size of font in the Properties of windows
b) you can, via registry editing, increase the amount of space you see from your message
any help?

Good day! The space used to type threaded text messages on my Xperia has for some reason decreased to just half a line, so what I type can hardly be seen at all. It does this randomly, and it can be temporarily fixed with a soft-reset. But how can I remedy this? And is there a tweak to change the height of this text-input space? I would like it bigger than the standard anyway Thanks!
i've turned off threading as a result of this.

I used the trick described by Ayerthon here.
Use total commander to edit thread_sms.htm in windows directory. Find where it says height=35 and change that to your preference. I doubled it to 70 which seems fine for me.
Thank you, that was just what I was looking for! Will give it a try
Is there anyway of increasing the sms text size as it is being written? It's possible to increase the size of the conversation text above but what about the flashing cursor and the text being written...

Hi laguna33p,
The effect on font size change is only work on std SMS, there is no effect on font if u use SMS messaging.
you have to edit the mui file and it's a bit cumbersome process. I explained it somewhere on this forum, some search should reveal it

Where have you explained it????? I cant seem to find it..
Infact even in traditional mode, the font size is too small...must be a reg hack somewhere to increase font size?
I have recently bought an HTC Diamond2 and upgraded its ROM to the official WM6.5, still using TouchFLO 3D. I have set the character size to the largest available size (through Settings), yet the character size in 'Contacts', SMS text and the digits when I dial a phone number is too small for my eyes.
Is there a Registry Tweak or Utility to further increase the character/font size?
I use a utility from here to zoom in/out text from SMS text, which is good but not adequate (NB that no sliding bars appear for the text to be read properly but...).
In addition, mine is bought from the Netherlands, yet I installed the official Greek WM6.5 ROM.
I tried RealVGA, but a single DPI is available (hence useless).
Thanks in advance for any information.
there is a magnifying program for the phone. Maybe this is something for you?

i believe the real life application: "reading glasses" might also be appropriate here
jokes aside, magnification programs are easy to use. search for them in this forum. a few available i think.
I do own the real-life application "reading glasses"; the problem is that when I am about and the phone rings, it is not easy to take the 'application' out of my pocket and 'run' it.
I have also installed the Zoom In/Out application for SMS.
Nevertheless I am surprised there is no information on how to change the character DPI under WM6.5 or the screen resolution.
Thank you again for your answers
The fontsize from the SMS tab can be found in a _manila-File.
But i forgot in which file... You could ask a rom cook, who build in a biger SMS font.
I changed the font on Manila 2.1, but not on 2.5 with Mode9 editor.

Try this:

You can just use the slider to enlarge the text in SMS and emails.
As far as the system text.... maybe Advanced Config?
Thank you, but the proposed application does not run for some reason (I have install the latest mobile .net framework (version 3.7). Should I use 3.5 instead?
As for the last reply, I have set the character size to maximum from the Settings, but they are too small due to the small screen size compared to the resolution.
Judging from a LG GT500 I would say that a resolution of about 320x200 (or slightly higher) would be alright, but I know neither the Registry setting (if one is available) or a working application that can do the trick.
Thanks again for the replies though.
Try NET CF v3.5.
Hi Friends,
Fyi , I am a low vision person using the HTC HD2 for the past 6 weeks (lost my left eye 6 years ago due to a failed eye operation, surviving on one low vision eye). So far I have installed BsB Tweaks and enjoy the pinch & Zoom feature in all programs, the device is great with it's 4.3 inch capacitive screen !
However, the only drawback is the sms editor & screen the text size (even when set to "largest") is too small for me to read.
Does anyone know how to modify the registry setting so that the text size can be increased for the following:
1) New SMS screen
2) Reply SMS Screen
Looking forward for your help
Thanks in advance
try this out:
Go with ur Registry Editor to:
HKCU/Software/HTC/HTCMessaging/Fonts
and change "FontScale" from "2" = should be standard to "1"
tell us if it has been working for you please
HKCU/Software/HTC/HTCMessaging/Fonts is this corect adress?
I have in HKLM/Software/HTC/HTCMessaging/Fonts
But nowhere "Fontscale" ??
