Feature description

Add an option to modify the font size for calendar entries.

Why do you want this feature?

When the calendar contains many entries it's hard to keep an overview. Entries are abbreviated or only shown when clicking on a day (in the monthly view). Being able to decrease the font size for entries would solve to see more information at once.

In which view do you have this problem? Please provide a screenshot to illustrate it.

Hallo. This is a very needed option (to change the font size like in your Contacts app). The default font size is very small. Primarily for simple event list and daily view. Thanks

For example in the month view: The font size is so big that there is no room left for more entries to be shown. In the screenshot for 14 of July, 7 entries are visible for aCalendar, while fossify calendar only shows 5 entries. Also "The very important appointment" is shown as "The very imp" on aCalendar, while it's only "The very" on fossify. A few more letters provide valuable information in my opinion. So it's not necessary to click on every day to see if there are more entries.

With a font size setting you were able to decide on your own if you prefer more details in the calender by using a smaller font size or if you prefer a bigger size.

Apart from the font size, how many details are shown is also affected by other UI elements in fossify calendar: the search field, the month headline and the quick calendar toggle take away a lot of space. But that's for another issue.

We could have an option for app's font size, similar to the one for widgets. It should adjust font size proportionally for all views.

That would be great. Maybe it's also worth to think about to have finer options for the size? Maybe with a slider or just more options to choose?

This is how it's done on aCalendar: grafik
