I've bought an E90 communicator as a guinea pig for the other two partners in our company, we all currently use Palm Treo 650s.

So far I've been thrilled with my new communicator. It is very different from the Treo and will take some getting used to, but it reminds me of my heady days when I had a Psion 5mx and that can only be a good thing.

However, one problem is the font sizes. I can read the text on the phone fine, but one of the partners is getting on a bit and cannot read my phone text without glasses (which he doesn't want to have to look out every time he uses the phone). I've tried upping the font size to large, but there is still an awful lot of tiny text everywhere (the menu item text, for example, unless it's displayed in list view, and all the settings choices)

Is there any way to up the text completely? Can I install larger fonts that will change the font across the system? Or are there large font themes available? Nokia don't seem to have any and symbian.mobilethemes.com don't seem to support the E90 platform (judging from this stick post http://forum.mobilethemes.com/showthread.phtml?t=580 )

Many thanks

Psiloc has a program called Font magnifier, see:
