I wish I could increase the font size of my Ti-89 Titanium. Is that possible? Can anyone give instructions? 
Thank you!!!

Hey John,
While I don't have the knowledge, I can point to a relevant (though currently short) discussion:
Cemetech - Can you change the system font on the TI-89?
Keep in mind that the topic is over a year old, so instead of replying to that topic, it might be better to start another one.

It seems that nobody has really done anything on the subject, but it may be possible from what I have read. I wish I could help more, sorry.

There is a large font (8x10) which is used for the entry line on the
92+/V200, but I don't know of a way to make the 89t's Home Screen use it
without possibly some ROM hacking. Someone here may know something I
don't on the subject, though.

Hi John,
I know that Flib, by Francois Leiber has a function for displaying 8x10 text on the 89 and 92.
If you use the the command: flib("font: 2"), it will change the font to 8x10. Then use flib("drawstr: x, y, text") to output in that font.
Here's the link:
Flib 3.2 GPL (look at "English/Flib Commands.html" in the download for info)

The only thing that could be annoying is the fact all the text displaying has to be done with Flib (but you can do things like draw over the toolbar).
