We have all of our devices in lockdown mode, however, many users are requesting to change their font size. The Samsung Knox kiosk mode has this in their settings menu, however, SOTI's Settings Manager does not. I know we can use legacy scripts to change this remotely but I'd prefer the user to be able to do it on their own. The default font size is fine for most, but specific users that can't see well need the font increased.
Our devices are Android 13, Samsung Galaxy Tab Active 3.
If you're familiar with the legacy scripts that can be used to change the font size you could put different versions of that script for different font sizes as .cmd files on the device and then link to those scripts on your lockdown to let the users choose what font they want displayed.
Hi Todd,
As suggested by Matt, to change the system font size for all apps in one go, you can try using the following legacy script with different SIZE parameter values to be associated with two or more script:// lockdown menu item(s):
writesecuresetting -sys font_scale SIZE
where SIZE equals
1.0 => NORMAL
1.3 => HUGE
0.93 => SMALL
0.85 => TINY
Note: the SIZE values may vary with different device brand/models.
If you have the knowhow to use html/CSS or framework supporting advancec visual objects, it is possible to configure such font-size related items to have different look/layout from other normal app lockdown menu items.
Hello Todd,
Alternatively, you can try to use an intent of the "font-size menu section" (if there is a specific section for this on your device and any other part from settings menu such as WiFi/GSM etc. can't be changed by using this intent) for your device and you can access the font settings directly from lockdown.
If send intent legacy script works for you but you can't use the lockdown intent or action section somehow, you can save the legacy script as file_name.bat or .cmd file and you can put an item to execute this file from your device, such as below:
Here is details for intents: The sendintent Command (soti.net)
I hope it helps. Thank you

For my Samsung device that was enrolled as Android Classic here is an intent for font type/size menu as legacy script version as below:
sendintent -a "intent://com.android.settings/.homepage.SettingsHomepageActivity/1#Intent;scheme=content;action=android.intent.action.MAIN;component=com.android.settings/com.samsung.android.settings.display.SecFontSizePreferenceFragment;end"

I tested this and while it's a cool feature and could be used for other use cases, it gets them into all the other settings which is why we have the lockdown to begin with. I don't see a way to block that.
Which font we are talking about? The font in the lockdown itself (can be changed in the template you use) or the one in the apps (you could do as stated from the other comments or grant acces to the display settings of the settingsmanagaer but need to ensure that they then can'T access the other settings)?
