Ok ...here it is ...this has been bothering me the past few days and I can't figure out how to restore it. I've tried a few things already with no success but maybe someone here can help shed some light?

Notice the super small fonts ...what do I do?

    In Opera I can scale ANY site, from 20%, to 1000%. The scaler sits right next to the google search box. I can also use keyboard to do this(Short enough, MJO???) The scroll wheel scrolls, and I can choose how and whether horizontal or vertical.

    IE's fonts can be set also, and Opera has minimum font sizes that can be set and can use that for default. I can and have remapped fonts even for here. Both as to size and as to font spec. Browser need not honor CSS font spec.

    so is this an accessibility feature?
    I deal with a few sight deficient students from time to time and things like this really help ...they usually end up showing me stuff though. :rolleyes:

    edit:\ thanks again geeky for the fast response ...I love short-media.

    If you are referring to my post in the old thread?
    It was meant to be a _joke_, I didn't think anyone would take it seriously.
    I figured everyone would notice the irony. :confused:

    EDIT: I'll go add a smily now to make it blatantly obvious.

    I bypass the frontpage for my favorites link altogether ...the font is too small and the articles are impossible for me to read. Perhaps I need glasses but I rarely use them even to read an architects or engineers scale (ok maybe at 3/32"=1'-0"). Maybe there's another type of trick like alt right mouse click or something for that? ;D

    How about lowering your resolution? :crazy:
    Maybe move closer to the screen?
    Or you could use the windows magnifier. (it is together with all the other things to help handicapped people)
