Larger Fonts

Bez · Post by **Bez** » Wed Jan 17, 2007 1:34 am

Does anyone know how I can display 'the pages' on the internet in larger fonts...particularly here at FG. I have changed to LARGE FONTS via Internet options but it doesn't work everywhere....I've also changed to large fonts on Desktop display.

Which browser are you using?

What have you used to change to large fonts - the Windows option or the Browser option? They have very different effects.

Try - if you haven't - the browser option and choose larger and largest or whatever they're called in yours. Which areas of the screen don't enlarge when you switch that way?

Perhaps I'll log off for a while, I interpreted her question wrongly. Sorry Bez, scrub my suggestion, enjoy coding your webpages, tell us how you got on after. Maybe we can visit www.Bez4u.info when you've finished?

plus the website explains very easily how to make larger fonts, unless you believe this is to advanced for Bez that is...
I was wondering how even a line of it was going to affect the "larger fonts...particularly here at FG" part of the specification, that's all. While it's quite true that we could write a local Cascading Style Sheet file to specify a font set for that browser on that computer and act as an override, to be applied to FG, that doesn't seem quite in the spirit of the user request.

I started in Internet Options....then ...well all over the place...anyway...I've been back to Internet options and unchecked some boxes and it's nearly OK....watch this space though....i might be back

...

basically i just want to be able to read more easily webpages etc.

It's easy to adjust your PC but I'm struggling when on the internet

I really appreciate your help Novelty and Spot.

...Bez, you might say whether these "Internet Options" are inside your browser menu or not and which browser it is, it's all very vague so far.

It's OK Spot...I've cracked it from Internet Explorer, Internet Options, Accessibility...just 'unchecked' a couple of boxes and now it's fine thanks

Sorry to be so vague...I guess it was just trial & error

I tried viewing my computer without my glasses on and I couldn't get the font large enough

I can't see the "E" on the eye chart.

I've played around with it so much now that I'm in a right 'mucking fuddle'
