Computer help - the fonts are getting smaller and smaller

[dterrick 0]

Well, sort of. Lately I've found that the text that many websites use on their main page has gotten so small as to be illegible. For example (THIS is what prompted be to write) on [url]http://www.freefall.com/aircraft.htm[/v], the text about the planes is simply not acceptable. It's much like trying to read a newspaper at night without my glasses on and after about 43 beerz.

This is not a universal problem and this fact perplexes me. Have weebsters just gone to a tinier font to jam more information (or advertising) onto a given screen size? Am I losing my mind for lack of jumps? Helppppp...

Win XP pro. ATI all in wonder Radeon @ 1024 x 768 on a 17" CRT monitor. IE 6.whatever.

Actually the WEBSITE has smaller fonts, to correct that (and assuming you're using IE) when that happens, click on the menu bar on top, click on VIEW -> TEXT SIZE and click on a larger size, that will fix it, now, if you want to override the fonts on any website (setting them up to the preference of your liking) right click on IE -> PROPERTIES -> ACCESSIBILITY (on GENERAL tab) and check IGNORE FONT SIZES SPECIFIED ON WEB PAGES.

Any more questions, you know where to find me.

Instant fix... thanks Ivan!!

What gets me is that I have never played around with this newfound toy "text size" and nobody else uses this computer... it was set on "smallest".

Try (in IE) View->Text Size
