One of the challenges of the new lines of cell phones coming out is that the screens are sometimes smaller, making it difficult for ‘older eyes’ to read, or just putting strain on younger eyes. Like other Blackberry smartphones, the 7100t has the ability for the font to be adjusted, allowing owners to choose a font that is easier to read.
Instructions

1. Start on the home screen. Roll the trackwheel to the Tools icon. Click the trackwheel, pulling up the Tools screen. Roll the trackwheel to the Settings icon. Click the trackwheel, pulling up the Settings screen.
2. Scroll down until ‘Screen/Keyboard’ is highlighted. Click the trackwheel to select that option. The Screen/Keyboard screen opens. The first choice that is highlighted on that screen is ‘Font Family.’ Click the trackwheel. A menu box opens. Click the trackwheel to select ‘Change Option.’ A menu box appears.
3. Scroll down the list of fonts to the one you want. Unlike word processing programs, this does page does not show what the fonts look like as you scroll over the names. However, if you look to the side of the menu box, you will see a sample sentence, “The quick brown fox jumps over the lazy dog,” changing as you scroll across the various fonts. Click the trackwheel to select the font you would like; this also closes the menu box.
4. Roll the trackwheel until ‘Font Size’ is highlighted. Click the trackwheel. A menu box opens. Click the trackwheel to select ‘Change Option.’ A menu box appears.

6. Roll the trackwheel until ‘Antialias Mode,’ is highlighted. Antialias is a process that smoothes out the fonts, making them look nicer. Supposedly it slows down the Blackberry 7100t a bit, but not noticeably. If you want to try it, click the trackwheel to select ‘Change Option.’ A menu box appears. Scroll to and click the trackwheel to select ‘Antialising. ’ Click the trackwheel again; a small menu box opens. Scroll to and click, ‘Save’ to save all the changes.
