website's font size...
« on: January 09, 2007, 01:44:34 pm »
Hi.

I know that DASPRiD worked hard on the website recently, but... the 11pixel font is just tiny when displayed in 1280x1024 screen res... Couldn't the size be relative?

I know - I can always make the font bigger in the browser but if some text areas are fixed in size then the text goes out from such areas and either is not visible or covers other elements.

Could something be done on this, please?

You can make the text on every website bigger.
CMD+ in Safari, don't know the hot-keys in other browsers.

Ctrl+ in Firefox.

Get Opera and set the default zoom to 120% :)

I can't really see your problem. The font is even readable on 1600x1200.

Ctrl+ mouse wheel is faster than +. atleast it works in IE and Opera.
Edit: it changes the size of everything on the page in Opera.

That would solve the problem (I use firefox).
But there's no 64bit version of opera...

You could probably find an extension that will/would remember your zoom on each page.  At least, that's what one would think.

You can also set minimal font size in Firefox preferences.

1. Opera is free
2. No browser can competite with Opera's quality mix of speed, correct secure parsing on low resource usage.

Opera  8)

(If you got firefox, you are fine)

You are dumb. No seriously, you are really, really dumb. You made me laugh with your dumb remark though.
