Bigger Font Size? | |||||||||||||||||
I know I'm not the only one who's having a tough time reading some of these posts and I'm 25 with great vision. I hate having to press my nose up to the monitor. How about a font size a little larger or a different or easier to read font style. Why not? Great Site by the way.

please use bigger font size, i.e. the same large size you use for your bios, which surely can't be that much more important than people's ideas?
You should upgrade to the Mozilla browser. When I hit a site that has set the font too small, I just hit CTL-+ to make the font bigger (or CTL-- to make it smaller). Mozilla is the best browser on the Internet. It even stops the pop-up ads!
I'm forty two (forty three in a month and a half) and I can read the font size just fine (in Mozilla Firebird btw). Maybe your ISP is too small? In fact, the font size I'm seeing is astoundingly average.
On a 15" monitor it is a little undersized.
Solution: add RELATIVE font sizes in the site style sheet
This allows the user to enlarge the font if desired (even on IE) and the current look would not have to be compromised.
The last reply speaks to an issue I was going to raise. Netscape and I.E. have an option to enlarge text, but it doesn't work with all text. I suspect a lot of web page designers choose non-magnifiable text because it works better for what they want to do, without thinking about how much trouble it causes for people who don't have perfect vision. I think what I call "magnifiable text" is the same as the "relative font size" mentioned in the last reply.
