Gmail App Change Font Size

I realised later that even when I give font-size:14px!important; font didn't stick to the visible 14px size (Browser's element inspector showed it was 14px!), and the reason was probably that font-family was set different for that ill-behaving text. When I added font-family selector to the span, things started working fine. Step 4: Click on the General tab of the settings and find 'Default text style.'

It quickly became obvious to us that the font size changes that others have reported in the iOS Gmail app are still affecting users of the Android Gmail app and the Gmail Inbox app. This is probably because the Android Gmail app has to be updated through the Google Play store, whereas the iOS Gmail app is essentially just a web browser built to. Click 'set a custom scaling level' under Change size of items. A pop-up window appears with a little ruler in it. Click on the percentage box, type in a number and click Ok. Test out different sizes until you find one you like. 5b.Select the UI element you want to change, pick a font size and check 'Bold' if you want the letters bolded.

When it comes to email campaigns, we hate surprises. That’s why we were worried when we got a tweet with a messed up version of our holiday newsletter and the hashtag #EPICFAIL. Oh no! You can see how the email looked, below. For some reason, Gmail also prevented our Mozify table from being replaced by the actual image, which is why the gingerbread man in the left image looks “pixelated.” Of course we had to find out how we had missed this in our testing.

It quickly became obvious to us that the font size changes that others have reported in the iOS Gmail app are still affecting users of the Android Gmail app and the Gmail Inbox app. This is probably because the Android Gmail app has to be updated through the Google Play store, whereas the iOS Gmail app is essentially just a web browser built to access their service. This means that it can get “live updates” as soon as Gmail makes an update.

FreshInbox came up with this clever fix that will prevent Gmail from resizing your text. Gmail can apparently detect if its text size increase will make the text element wider than the viewing window. If this is going to happen, it chooses not to apply the text size increase. The fix uses a “nowrap” set of characters that are hidden on non-Gmail clients. This is because Gmail ignores the “display: none;” style. Their super simple fix is below.

Gmail Large Font Size

Make sure to put the snippet in a section that is the full width of the email. You’ll also want to change the color of the text in this div to match the color of the section of your email that it’s in. In the example, the text is set to white.

When testing on multiple Android phones in the office, we found that the fix worked on some phones but not others. After a bit of sleuthing, we found that this was actually caused by how the user had the app configured. The fix above works for users who link to a Gmail account directly in their app configuration. However, it does NOT work for accounts that are linked using POP/IMAP.

Hope your holiday email campaigns go off without a hitch! To help prevent problems and embarrassing tweets, we recommend testing your email before you send! Email testing is a critical step in any successful email campaign.
