Milan & Dominic,

Thanks for the quick replies. I have been using Evolution for many years and was unaware of using the ctrl key and mouse wheel. That does the trick.

Regards,
Michael Duvall

For the first two then, you would have to do it via Mate-System(on top
bar)-Control Centre-Appearance-Fonts. But that will change the size of
all fonts on your system that you alter, then again, if it is too big
or too small for you in contacts you are probably having the same issue
system wide so maybe it's worth a try there.
There may also be a way of starting evolution from a script that passes
a font to the x-system on evolution-startup and then resets it when you
close the program, that however is an issue for Cent-OS help/user
groups to aid you with I guess.
