Some of our users might like to modify the font size of their Android devices. Rather than going into the settings and changing them manually 1 by 1, it is more efficient to send a legacy script to change a group of Android devices all at once.

 

Tested on:

• Agent version: 2024.0
• Device: Point Mobile PM451 running Android 11
• MC version: 15.6.3

In SOTI MobiControl, once you have selected the Android device(s) you want to apply the font size change to:

1. Select Send Script.

 

2. For Script Type, select Legacy. Then, in the Script Editor, enter the following script

writesecuresetting -sys font_scale 1.0

 
 

Note: 
1.0 is the default/regular size. 
1.2 is large. 
1.3 is very large.

3. Select Send Script.

 

Navigate the Android device menus to verify font size changes.

The Android device's font size changes to the script's input number. 

For this example, a 1.2 size was used.
