TO read the magazine, I needed a magnifier

The font size was too small for me to read the articles shown attached to this web page. I tried, but to read something acceptable, it should be at least 10 points. The article appeared to be at around 7 points, and my neck hurt after reading some of it. (Why the neck? Because I wear bifocals, and I had to bring the extra magnification up so that I could follow. In the end I quit reading and came here to the comment section.

Your web browser should be able to enlarge the fonts. In Firefox and Konqueror, hit the Ctrl button and the + key to make the words bigger, Ctrl and the - key to make them smaller.

Oh, cool!

I feel like the guy who just figured out that the water in a bidet shoots up.

WHOO-HOOOOO!

Under the preference/content setting in firefox, you can set default font and minimum size. you can do the same in Opera and I believe in konq too.

Yes, so despite the best efforts of most Web designers to render sites unreadable, we can, in fact, find a way to read them.

Also, Ctrl and the 0 (zero) on the numpad reset the font size to default again.

Well they keep trying, but so far, we're ahead :)
