I have a query in Application Insights which returns Text and Percentage Values.
But its not in enough size , How can we increase Font Size ?
In the below Picture the font size of the percentage value is not as required, How can we increase Font Size ?
The font size isn't configurable in this Blade. Feel free to use the browser zoom though.

If i set the width of a label to 50 or size of label to 12, what does that mean in Xamarin Forms? Does it scale on different devices? So will my tekst be bigger on a tablet with size 12 then tekst on a phone with size 12? What about widthrequest and heightrequest?
Hope someone can clear this up.
It will be consistent on every device, or theoretically should be consistent on every device. Here is more info about font size. The height request should be consistent on both Android and iOS for the height of a label, although I am not sure what unit it is in. I am gonna assume pixels, but could be wrong.
You can use Device if you want different sizes on different device types.
As mentioned in the Xamarin documentation:
These sizes are not pixels. Instead, they are device-independent units recognized independently by each platform.
Check the complete documentation here.
I am currently developing an application. And my development computer resolution is 1366*768, I know how to make the application size auto resizable according to resolution. But the problem is in the labels used in application. If the resolution of the monitor is less than 1366*768, the labels becomes cramped and unable to see text, if i keep the font low, and if i use higher resolution monitor the text in those labels looks very tiny. I know one solution that is to check the resolution of monitor during the application start and assign appropriate font to the labels dynamically. But this method takes more time as i have to first create a list of resolution with appropriate font by using trial and error method. And this also requires lot of code. I was wondering if there is any feature or function in qt that i am unaware of to auto scale the font as per resolution. Thanks!
I have a calendar object on my ASPX page, and all works well, until my user asked for it to be smaller.
I tried setting the hieght and width. but it wouldn't reduce the calendar from the default size, it would however, increase the size if I made them bigger than the default. Am I just stuck with the default size being the smallest it gets?
Thanks
Another answer 5 minutes after I ask...always the way.
The problem of shinking is all in the font size. It won't shrink the font automatically to fit a smaller calendar. So I just used CSS to do so:
font:12px arial,tahoma,sans-serif;
and it would finally shrink down.
After writing a great big answer to the question Is it bad to work with pixels in CSS? in which I concluded that there's normally nothing wrong with it provided you understand the limitations, I started to wonder about how many people have the default font size set to something other than 16px.
I imagine that there would be some users who change it due to either poor eyesight or high pixel density monitors (like those with 1920*1080 screens on 15" laptops) (or maybe just because they like larger text). There also may be some devices (handheld devices?) that have the default font size set to something else, but this is purely conjecture on my part.
My question is: does anybody know any statistics on what percentage of users have the default browser font size set to something other than 16px?
This avoids answering your question, but IMHO such statistics shouldn't matter even if it were near zero percent.
Even if 16px were the de-facto standard, you should start from the position that this is something that the designer doesn't ultimately control, and it should be left up to the user to choose their font size. Your decision process should lead to designs that are flexible based on the user's needs.
I'm not sure if you've found much by way of google but this search bought up this page as hit 1: http://www.oreillynet.com/xml/blog/2006/03/more_statistics_on_user_clicks.html
Incidentally this question is on page one of the search too :)
Its from 2006, but the first bit has a little about the font size settings in IE.
I doubt there is any documented data for this specific thing.
One thing I can tell you is that in over 10 years of working around computers I've seen about 1 in 10 users having a above default DPI setting. eg. 120 that caused the font size to be bigger than 16px in their browser. It also caused layouts that weren't styled properly to break.
Late reply to the question;
Defining your font size to a fixed size (px) or (pt) would mean that your site visitor can't increase the size of your Web page text. You might say "great", but this doesn't allow someone with visual disabilities to adjust browser settings to increase font size. If you're designing a website for the general public or for the government, this is a big "no-no".
To be on the safe side use relative measurements (em) or (%) that allow for font adjustment in a browser.
What is the purpose of this chart and how to use?
http://aloestudios.com/tools/emchart/
Given a current font size of the-row-headings, and a wanted font size of the-column-headings, set the font size to the number of ems at the point of intersection.
Of course, you can't know what the user has their default font size set to (although many people assume it is 16px) so it is largely useless.
