Hello!
I'm new here, and I was wondering if there is some way to increase the font size? I've tried the different themes, but they all seem to have the same size, which I unfortunately have problems reading.
Thank you.

Yeah, I really don't like that 8pt is the default in a lot of places. It can be tough on the eyes sometimes.
What you can do is -- in your Web Browser, under the View menu, you can choose Text Size increase. Then you will see larger fonts, without relying on others to change their defaults.

Thank you, but I already have my browser's font size set to maxium. :) This place overrides that... Firefox might work, but I can't use it on this computer.

That was quick. :) And I thank you, but... 9 pt is also much too small for me. I need like 12 or even better 14. (I know, huge and annoying to most people, but I have some problems with my sight, unfortunately.) Might it be possible to have a specific Large Font theme, say?

if you go to your control panel, click on Edit Option, you'll see a new theme called BigFont. Selecting that will make everything 14pt.
The large size of the font, however, might cause some formatting/alignment issues, so know that going in ...

And regarding formatting, it's no problem, I'm used to it.

Umm .. I don't see you logged in, but my default font size just increased. (both Firefox and IE)
If this was your doing and not my desktop becoming sentient, I thank you.

| Posted By : VeeJay - 6/16/2006 6:05 AM | | I'm replying to this thread since I'm a lonely soul, procrastinating from pulling my novel-writing quota tonite. I happen to adore small print...you should see my long hand, if it can be called that...I could probably transcribe a hefty amount of the Septuagint on about 15 notebook pages. People have needed artifical assistance from scanning-tunneling microscopes to make out my writing...you know about STMs, doncha? It's what scientists used to make that oh-aren't-we-just-the-sh*t IBM logo out of, like, xenon atoms. Saw it in Discover once. Or was that Prevention Magazine? Road & Track? The Economist? Teen Beat? No, no, I remember...Hustler's 20th anniversary edition! Edited by Stephen Hawking! Damn, mind like a steel sieve sometimes, almost plumb forgot that one....-- Aging. Fear it. |
