Q:
Is there anything I can do about web pages with fonts that are too small to read or so large that they waste browser space?
A:
Yes, there is hope. You can avoid eye strain or the loss of vast amounts of browser real estate. You can increase / decrease the font size of your browser. Here’s How:
Internet Explorer & Outlook Express Users:
Click your View menu, Text Size , and select the size you want to view your web pages at.
Netscape Users:
Click the View menu and select either ” Increase Font ” or ” Decrease Font “
Opera Users:
In the upper right hand corner of the toolbar there is a drop-down menu to zoom in or out. You can also go to View and Zoom , then select the percentage. The cool thing about Opera compared to other browsers is that it doesn’t just increase the text size, but the graphics as well!
One quick note:
Keep in mind that when the people who designed the page you’re looking at set it up, they may have designated a specific text size that you’re overriding. So, if a page looks bad at one of your “custom” text sizes, you know why!
