How To Change the Text Size In Your Browser

Why would I want to do that?

Depending on your operating system, your monitor, your browser--even your eyesight--you might be more comfortable reading online in a larger or smaller font than the default in your browser. Currently, the trend in web design is for small fonts. While small fonts look nice on a page, they can be difficult to read. The good news is that your browser probably allows you to change the default font size on sites that have been designed to allow you to do that. On this site, fonts are sized proportionately--if you change your default font size in your browser, all sizes of fonts will change (except for the ones in the menu bar on the left--at least for now).

How do I do it?

Internet Explorer users Internet Explorer's default font is slightly larger than other browsers' fonts. You can change the font size in your browser by choosing View from the menu and then choosing the font size you want.
Netscape 7/Mozilla users In Netscape 6 or 7 or Mozilla, you can change the font size by choosing View from the menu and then selecting Text Zoom to choose your font size.
Netscape 4.xx users In early versions of Netscape, use View and Increase Font or Decrease Font to change the text size.
Opera, Konqueror, Safari users Oh, come on: if you're using Opera, Konqueror, or Safari you know how to change your text size. :-)
