TrueType fonts: These standard-issue Apple fonts come with Mac OS X.They’re in common use on Macs as well as on Windows machines. That’s partly because these fonts are scalable: They use only a single outline per font, and your Mac can make their characters bigger or smaller when you choose a font size in a program. Type 1 fonts: These fonts are often referred to as PostScript Type 1. The font used from Mac OS X is 'Lucida Grande'; in Mac OS 8 and 9, the font used for menus and window title was 'Charcoal,' but it could be changed from the preference panel. From System 1 up to 7.6 the default GUI font was Chicago.

I just purchased a new 17' MBP for my Mom and Dad. The screen is crystal clear, but the words are very small. I've never changed the font size on my 15' MBP, so I'm not familiar with how to do it. I've tried changing the display settings, but the screen is near as crisp. I have searched, but haven't found the information to solve my problem. Would someone please point me in the right direction.
This is a 17' MBP on 10.6.3
Thanks in advance

Install fonts

Double-click the font in the Finder, then click Install Font in the font preview window that opens. After your Mac validates the font and opens the Font Book app, the font is installed and available for use.

You can use Font Book preferences to set the default install location, which determines whether the fonts you add are available to other user accounts on your Mac.

Fonts that appear dimmed in Font Book are either disabled ('Off'), or are additional fonts available for download from Apple. To download the font, select it and choose Edit > Download.

Disable fonts

You can disable any font that isn't required by your Mac. Select the font in Font Book, then choose Edit > Disable. The font remains installed, but no longer appears in the font menus of your apps. Fonts that are disabled show ”Off” next to the font name in Font Book.

Remove fonts

You can remove any font that isn't required by your Mac. Select the font in Font Book, then choose File > Remove. Font Book moves the font to the Trash.
