Can The Default Font Be Changed?

Me too! Serif fonts are always harder for me to read.

I like the font on the titles but not in the body text.

Damn!!

I adore it.

It's one of the things I love most.

Me too, dlowan, but if others could chose another...

Sometimes I increase my text view on my browser towards the end of the day..

How do you do that?

which operating system are you using?

windows XP: right-click Desktop --> Properties --> Display Setting --> Resolution

vista: right-click Desktop --> Personalize --> Display Setting --> Resolution

(i noticed the post preview font is different than the posted font...)

Or alternatively, you can change the font size setting in your browser - might be easier, and it doesnt affect the size of other things.

Eg, in Firefox: click the "View" menu at the top of your browser, click "Text Size", then click "Increase". Or just push the Ctrl and the + button at the same time, that should do it too.

Hmm - I just checked it, Internet Explorer (I'm using v7) has that option too: click the "Page" button at the top right of your screen, choose "Text size" in the drop down menu, and choose "Larger" or "Largest". Except -- it works like a charm on, say, the Google News page, but it doesnt seem to work on A2K. I'll post it on the A2K bugs thread..

My resolution is already as low as it can go. (800 by something) In my Internet "Tools" I have the fonts set to medium normally. Changed it to Largest yesterday and it didn't change anything. Nothing. In my Main settings (non-internet) I have the font set to Large.

I just adjusted my brightness / contrast on the monitor and that didn't change anything either. I think the background here is a bit greyish/bluish white which seems to be the largest part of my eye fatigue here.

Thanks nimh. That's what I was just typing that I tried yesterday when you posted. Yes, my Google home page is now HUGE! ... But didn't change here at all.

IE7 should have a little magnifying glass and a "100%" in the bottom right-hand corner of the screen. Just click the magnifying glass.

It will rotate through 125%->150%->100%.

There's also a drop-down menu just to the right of that where you can zoom to 400% if you wish.

Thanks DrewDad. I have that at work and just discovered it a week or so ago. Very helpful. I probably need to update my IE to 07 then. (No idea what I have, but I know I don't have that cool tool here at home.)

didn't realize firefox had this cool feature. thanks nimh. I don't know why squinney doesn't switch to firefox, I love it. I still would prefer just an arial font here though.

i noticed there is now a font setting in preferences...

Hurray!

Thank you to whichever hamster missed lunch to add the font size choice. You're the best!

And, thank you to RP for bringing it to my attention.

ohhhh looky! Big Letters!

OHHHH --- Big Avatars TOO!!!!

Things are almost getting to be bearable

I'm so happy. Thank you, furry little creatures, thank you!
