Increasing the font size of Web pages is relatively simple to do. But when a Web author hardcodes a specific font size, you're out of luck. Or are you? To repeat something featured in a previous GnomeREPORT: Lockergnomie Pat Pluto figured out a workaround for the fixed-width font 'problems' that some of you have been having. Actually, I should say, those of you with Microsoft e-mail clients (or Web browsers); Netscape users shouldn't have to worry. This fix is universal -- applying to every HTML newsletter and Web site you encounter. Open up Internet Explorer, select Tools from the menu, then Internet Options, then press the Accessibility button. At that point, you can choose to ignore the font sizes specified on Web pages. This also applies to your e-mail (if you use a Microsoft e-mail client). This should keep EVERYONE happy; you're in control again.
