apply permanent text zoom in Firefox 3.5?

franpa · Post by **franpa** » Fri Jun 19, 2009 4:13 am

Hi, I want to enlarge the text in Firefox 3.5 and have it affect everything (not site specific). I want to keep changes between font sizes though so forcing a minimum font size does not achieve what I want, 'cause small fonts will be the same size as the rest...

I think there's a setting for DPI somewhere in about:config.

Press Ctrl++

CTRL++ is site specific only.

Yes, and it remembers the setting. You can do it on each site you find small.

Could just lower the resolution of Windows, maybe?

thats not an option (and a stupid idea) on an LCD panel.

A. It IS an option.
B. It's not grotesquely offensive if the video chipset is doing the resampling instead of the LCD. Which is fortunate, since many many games won't run at a modern LCD panel's native resolution.
C. If he can't read the internet, then he probably can't see the artifacting anyways. Of course, it IS franpa, so who knows.
D. Shut up.

Windows also has a DPI option.

Windows DPI doesn't effect pages in firefox...

The way IE handles it is it Zooms the page to match the DPI %

I think it's a kind of bird, actually.

Also possible he wants me to eat "An opaque, compact variety of barite, or heavy spar." But I find that unlikely.

Squawk refutes any affiliation with waterproof sealing rubbery pastes.
