Hi Robert,
Thanks. That did it for me.

That is what happened.  Under Settings on 3.5 there is a long menu and about 
3/4 of the way down there is a Fonts choice. On 4.0 I saw the "Profile" 
things and never even looked in there figuring it was not relevant.

Rearranged I guess, as above

Hmmmm...I.ve never done that. I just scroll in the window to change the size.

Found out how to get apps onto the task bar via another poster. Right click on 
the app in the menu and choose move to task bar. That helps me a lot. Still 
can't move them or change their size but I will be patient.
