Question: When I visit certain web sites I have to keep adjusting the text size because they use different fonts and font sizes. Is there a way to fix this so that I don't have to keep messing with the text size?

Answer: So, you are sick of straining to read the small type too? We Gnomies know just how to fix up your Internet Explorer so this is no longer an issue. All you need to do is open Internet Explorer and select Tools|Internet Options from the menu. Click a button called Accessibility. All that is left is for you to put a check in the box next to "Ignore font sizes specified on Web pages." Viola! No more font size troubles. If you are a more advanced user then you can even go as far in this window as to set your own style sheet for every Web page. This is a great option for the visually impaired as you can set more vivid colors and larger text then the Web designer specified.
