How to change the VKontakte font on a computer. How to change the VKontakte font

VKontakte is a social network in which users send each other a large number of messages, music, videos, documents, etc. In this instruction we will tell you in detail how to write in bold on VK from your phone and computer.

If we suddenly see somewhere an inscription in bold letters, it always attracts our attention. VKontakte uses a regular standard font and does not provide any other. However, there are several ways to still make the VK font bold, and now we will show them.

How to write in bold or other font in VK

Many of us have our own VK page. Here we communicate with friends, read the news, listen to our favorite music, and watch the next spectacular video. In conversations with other users, we may notice that the messages of our interlocutor are written in bold or other non-standard font. At the same time, such a font is not available in the VK functionality, and how our interlocutor did it is unknown. Below we will reveal this secret and figure out how to write in bold or another font on the VK social network, and what we need for this.

How to zoom in on a VKontakte page?

The size of the font and other elements can be increased in the browser itself. Each of them has a scale tab; you just need to select the desired number. In Chrome it’s an icon with a wrench, scale, in Mozilla it’s an orange (purple) button in the top left, view, scale. In Opera, the button you are looking for is also located on the left, page, scale.

Change fonts to suit your needs to achieve maximum user comfort.

Many users who have poor eyesight or simply “clicked something wrong” by mistake and changed the font size in the contact simply cannot use the site normally. For those who regularly wonder how to change the font in a contact, here are some of the simplest ways to solve the problem.

Bold font in VK as a software vulnerability

A couple of years ago, VKontakte functionality had a software vulnerability that allowed you to write messages in bold (and not only) to another user. A message form was created and the code was inserted several times. The “Subject” field appeared, in which the user typed a message that was supposed to be displayed in bold on VK. Then the codes were deleted, and some kind of space was put in their place. After that, this message with bold font was sent to the recipient (read how to find out who viewed our posts in VK in our material).

Since the VK team is reviewing all relevant news, they have found and eliminated this vulnerability. Now the functionality of this and other similar holes in the VK code is not available to users. What to do?

This option no longer works

Changing the font size and type

So, everything that was discussed above concerns only the font size, but not its other characteristics, such as appearance and style. This is also possible, again with the help of an extension. As an example, we will consider the extension that was already mentioned above - Font Changer with Google Web Fonts™.

Step 1.

Find this extension in the Chrome store and install it in your browser. Its icon will appear in the extensions bar in your browser.

Step 2.

Open VK and click on the extension icon. A menu will appear on the screen.

For your convenience, it is worth explaining the meaning of the characteristics:

1. Font Name - the name of the font used on the site.
2. Font Weight - font thickness.
3. Font Size - size.
4. Font Style - style, namely italics, underlining, etc.

Set the parameters that suit you and click on the blue “Done” button. Now your page will look different.

Note!

This extension works exclusively within the browser and on all sites that you open with it.

Use services to change text to Unicode

You can write in VK in bold or another font using a number of special Internet services that use the Unicode standard. With their help, you can get a variety of options for your text, including bold, italic, gothic and other fonts.

You must work with these tools as follows:

1. Go to such a resource;
2. Insert into a special field (usually on the left) the desired text that you want to display in a different font;
3. On the right, select the desired font option;
4. Mark the result obtained with the mouse cursor, right-click it, select “Copy”;
5. Go to the desired field for text in VK, click on it with the cursor, and click “Insert”.

Among such services that allow you to write in bold on VK, we highlight the following:

The resource lingojam.com offers you various forms of writing fonts

Using these services, you can write on VKontakte in different types of fonts in different languages. However, they work worse with the Cyrillic alphabet than with the Latin alphabet.

We use ready-made design styles

As mentioned, the Stylish application allows you not only to create, but also to use other people's design styles on various sites. At the same time, this add-on works quite stably, without causing performance problems, and has quite a lot in common with the extensions that we discussed in one of the earlier articles.

Many themes do not change the base font of the site or have not been updated to accommodate the new VK site design, so be careful when using them.

Open the main page of the Stylish extension.

Using the “Top Styled Sites” category block on the left side of the screen, go to the “Vk” section.

Find the topic you like best and click on it.

Use the "Install Style" button to install the selected theme.

Don't forget to confirm the installation!

Please note that when installing or deleting a theme, the design is updated in real time, without requiring an additional page reload.

How to send a message in bold on VKontakte

So, let's begin. We open the page of the person to whom we want to write something in thick font and under his avatar, click on the “Send message” button.

We write the text that we want to make bold in the “Message” field:

Now we copy it and paste it one after another as many times as necessary for the “Subject” field to appear. Pay attention to the screenshot and you will see what I mean:

Now paste your text into the Subject field and delete everything from the Message field. However, you cannot leave this field empty; some icon, dot or emoticon must be present, otherwise nothing will be sent. After everyone has done this, click on the “Submit” button:

Now you can go to your dialogs and make sure that everything you wrote is actually in bold:

Try using this feature and you will certainly stand out among all your friends. In addition, this technique is very good to use if your messages are commercial in nature.

Making bold in a group

If you are an administrator of any group on the VKontakte social network, then it will not hurt you to know that there is also the ability to highlight text in news in bold. Let's figure out how this is done.

We go to our group and under the avatar we find the link “Community Management”. Click on it:

In the window that opens, in the “Information” tab, find the “Materials” section; from the drop-down list opposite it, you must select “Open”. Do this if you have another item selected there.

That's it, now let's go back to the main page of the group. Just below the main information about the group is the “Latest News” section and opposite it, click on the “Edit” link.

Our editor opens. In order for us to highlight a phrase in the news that we want to offer, we just need to highlight it and click on the “B” button.

To see what we have done, just click on the “Preview” link.

By the way, here's what we got:

That's all, dear friends, you and I have learned to write messages in thick font on the VKontakte social network, both to our friends and in the news of the community we manage. By the way, if you know any other ways to write in bold, then feel free to express your thoughts in the comments, I and other readers of my blog will be very grateful to you.

What to do when the font on other pages has not changed, but VKontakte has become small

There is no single answer to the question “Why did the font in Contact change?” In each situation, the reasons may be different, however, as well as the methods for solving this problem.

On the VKontakte website there is a “Settings” section, in which, in fact, you can change the size of the letters. This is done this way:

1. In the left column of the site, select the “Settings” item, click on it, after which you will go to the “General” section.
2. Scroll down the page and find the “Use font size” option. Put a tick next to it.
3. Go to your page and evaluate how much the font in “Contact” has changed.

How to make a font bold

Not so long ago, due to social network vulnerabilities, even underlined or inverted letters could be used. But the developers have eliminated such shortcomings. It’s worth noting right away that to highlight the font you will have to resort to some tricks or third-party services. All situations where bold font is needed should be considered.

In messages

How to write in bold in VK in correspondence? Unfortunately, you cannot do this with any extension or using tags in messages, but we offer an alternative. There is a social network feature that allows you to highlight the main idea of ​​​​a message. To do this, follow the instructions:

• In the “Message” field, write text until the additional “Subject” field appears above. The length of the main message should not be less than 201 characters, including spaces.

• Any words you write in the Subject field will appear in bold.

You won't see any highlighting, but the recipient will see the subject text in bold.

• Click the "Send" button so that the other person receives the message.

In messages on VK, bold font can be used for business correspondence, but no one prohibits using the function for personal purposes.

In a group or community

For VK group owners, there are two ways to select text:

In the first case, there is a special editor that allows you not only to write in bold in VK, but also to use italics and other formatting options without restrictions. The editor is only available to the community administrator. To begin, in the group settings, go to “Sections”.

And activate open or restricted materials.

Then follow the instructions:

• After completing the steps, two tabs will appear on the main page of the public: “Information” and “Latest News”. Go to the second one and click on the button to edit.

• On the right you will see an icon with brackets, click on it. Wiki markup is activated.

• Write the text in the field. Now you can format it the way you want using the editor's built-in tools.

Once you have highlighted the text in VK in bold, your post will attract the attention of users.

You can also use the article writing feature. Here you can use headings, subheadings, strikethrough, bold, and italics. To write an article, follow the instructions:

• Go to the community page and place your mouse cursor in the field for a new entry.
• In the bottom panel, select the article that is indicated by the letter “T” and three stripes.

• An editor will open where you can format the text as you wish.

• Click on the "Publish" button.

• In the window that appears, you will see a link where you can find the article.
• To save, click on the appropriate button.

To write in large font in VK, use headings and subheadings.

Send your written post to the group or community wall. You can also add a small preview to it. Only the title of the article will be displayed on the wall in large white letters. In order to read it, the user will need to click on it.

On your wall

You won’t be able to make bold text on your VK wall using the previous methods. To do this, you can use third-party services. One of the most famous and functional sites is Unicode Text Converter. Go to the service page and do the following:

• In the field on the main page, enter the letters you need and click on the “Show” button.

• All possible font options will be displayed below.

• Select one of the ones you like, copy it using the context menu or using the Ctrl+C keyboard shortcut.
• Paste the text into the field for a new post on the wall and click the button to publish (Ctrl+V or context menu).

There are no other ways to make a font bold on a user’s VK wall. But the disadvantage of such online services is that only English text can be converted. There may also be display problems on some devices.

To improve the readability of the post only for you, you can make the font large in VKontakte using the browser or website settings, but you will not be able to write to them in a message or on the wall. Enlarging letters will only be available to you.

After the developers fixed the bugs, formatting the text became quite difficult. But knowing some tricks, you can write a message to the user in a way that will attract his attention. The built-in group post editor also allows you to use special tools, but to publish such a post you must have administrator rights.
