If you are in a meeting and forgot to mute your phone, when a call comes in you can just turn the phone over on it screen and the call with mute. You can enable this by navigating to Settings > Sound & Notifications > Flip to Mute and then opt to Mute Always or Mute Once. If you want your device to automatically ring louder when it's in your pocket, you can also do this in the Sound & Notifications menu by selecting Pocket Mode.

You can also customize the fonts used on your device or download new ones by navigating to Settings >Personalize > and choose a pre-existing font. If nothing meets your liking, select "Download New Fonts."
