How to change font size

People with poor vision may be uncomfortable with the size of the characters on the display. In this case, you need to know how to increase the font on your Xiaomi phone using one of the built-in settings. Older models of Xiaomi smartphones have three sizes, namely S, M and L. New models have five or more options, which has significantly expanded the choice.

If you do not make any changes, the default size is set to M. To change the font on your Xiaomi phone up or down, go to Settings, then Screen and Text Size. There, set the desired parameter. Please note that the location of the option may vary depending on the OS model.

In some smartphones you need to go to Settings, then Advanced and Font.

There are situations when it is not possible to change the font size on Xiaomi. The reason may be homemade software installed on the phone. To solve the problem, change the language to English, change the desired parameter, and then return to Russian.

Converting and downloading

Many people wonder where they can download a font for Xiaomi, but first you need to understand the situation. Most of the generated fonts are in ttf format, but Xiaomi devices require mtz format. Users have two options:

1. Search for fonts in mtz format. For the request “download mtz fonts” or “download fonts for Xiaomi” there is quite a large selection from different developers.
2. Choose any one you like on the Internet and download it in ttf format, Google has a very wide selection at the link, then we use the converter to convert it to the format for Xiaomi.

For conversion, an Android program called FONT2MTZ is used, unfortunately, it is not available in the Google market, it must be downloaded separately. You can find this application yourself or use the link to. To download, you need to register there or log in with your account.
