Default What Is Your Favourite BlackBerry Font

Please Login to Remove!

Hi,

What is your favourite BlackBerry font and size?

I like to use "BBMillibankTall" 10-point on my 7280, because it's highly readable in all lighting conditions, and allows me to keep the backlight turned off more often. It's the smallest 2-pixel-thick-outlines font available on the BlackBerry, which is why I chose it. Coincidentially, this font seems to look like the default font found on the 7100 series!

I to like the default MillBank, but I have now switched to the MillbankTall....thanks Mark. I like the compactness of this compared to the others. Seems you can fit more to screen.

Ahh yes. It does. I still have my Newt here. I power it up every now and then for the heck of it.

BBMillibankTall 7 point regular. Can other fonts be loaded into the system? I'd love a smaller font if I could.

I guess I will dare to be different.

I prefer SYSTEM at 7pt. It's a tad small, but I get to see everything I need. I wish there was an 8pt. option cause the 9pt. is a little too big for my liking.

I like 7pt, but because I am a deaf guy and need other people to read my BlackBerry screen (i.e. use my BlackBerry instead of a paper notepad for in-person communications), and also because I want to keep the backlight turned off as much as possible -- I decided to stay at BBMillibankTall 10-point. It is a font that almost everybody can read without squinting eyes, and comfortable to read indoors without backlight.

I like BBCasual Bold. The shape of the letters is easy for me to read without undue effort. I am 58 years old and have the Font Size set to 11 according to the senior citizen's formula:

Font Size = 10 + ((AgeInYears-50)/10 rounded to nearest integer)

Guess I'm an outcast; I like BBCapitals 8 Bold. Easy to read, and since the upper and lower case are slightly different size, even though all caps, it doesn't look like people are yelling all the time. 8)
