Adjustable Fonts

[BookemDano]

Hi,

This is an excellent site, but the fonts are fixed and too small. They are difficult to read with my montors set at 1600X1200 (and no, it's not feasible to reset to a lower resolution.)

Many forums have adjustable fonts - either by setting a user parameter or using fonts that the user can zoom on. For example, in the Edmunds forums, to zoom the fonts, you press and hold the <ctrl> key and scroll your mouse button. It works great to zoom in the fonts to a reasonable size.

Please add the ability to zoom fonts or allow the user to select a larger font size to make reading easier.

Regards,

Dan.

Use Mozilla. It allows you to change font size by pressing "Ctrl +" or "Ctrl -". Plus it's very secure compared to others.

Does Mozilla allow you to change fonts in the LegacySTI forum?

What brower doesn't allow you to change the size smaller or larger in fonts? Just IE/PC and just this site?

Tide, that is correct--Internet Explorer does not allow you to adjust the font sizes.

I know that- I don't even notice the banner anymore. It makes no difference to me at all. I do remember using Firefox for about 4 days until I missed my Opera and uninstalled that Firefox crap. Sooooooo- Opera>* :P

IE/NT5 works, but why use IE anyway? Don't you have enough things to worry about already?

Hmmm. Not working with IE 6.0.2800 and XP (at home or at work).

Sure it does.

go to Tools -> Internet Options -> Accessibility, check Ignore font sizes and styles, click OK and then Fonts, select Latin based (for English encoding) from the Lang. script pull-down menu, then select the fonts you like...

anyway, you really should give mozilla a try (all true computer science/engineering scientists don't use IE and you should know why). I have never looked back ever since I got it few yrs ago and will never ever try others (I remain true to my first love... :P)...

That worked great!

Many thanks and regards,
