I recently got a C905 and it is exactly what I have been looking for.
It has the latest EU Firmware and everything works great.

My only problem is that the fonts are too large for me and I haven't been able to find a way to make them smaller.

Can someone please let me know how to make them smaller step by step and without bricking my phone?

I would be very grateful for any help.
I have searched the forums and online but not been able to find a clear and simple step by step guide to editing the font size. As it's not a built in option, I'm guessing I'm going to have to do some editing?

Thanks, Toby

@lukechris - the title is not misleading because i am hoping someone will post a step by step guide here for everyone to use. I changed it anyway to make you happy

@plankgatan - I don't know the swedish word but in german 'schriften' and it means the actual file used to show the letters and numbers on screen, for example Helvetica or Arial.

thanks but i have seen the sony sketch font and i don't like it.
all i want is to make the original font smaller...
i will try playing around with the layout_main.xml file and see what happens...

edit - there are a whole bunch of font size references in the layout_main.xml.
I've tried editing the defaults but the phone won't boot up properly.
Does anyone know exactly what i need to change to make the font smaller?
