<< I think Muse is saying he's already bumped up the font size for the forums and it's working fine, but when he read the FAQ pages it doesn't carry over to that non-forum section. If there is a way you can tell Netscape to ignore font (size) settings so you can still user your ctrl/] toggle then you'll be able to make it work (pump up the font size) for the areas on AT that are not covered under the customize feature. That's what I do with IE and it works great. >>
You're half right, anyway. However, I did change Netscape to allow me to ignore the webpage font. I quote from one of my posts above in this thread. I could not possibly have been more explicit. I quote the exact words of the Netscape dialog (this is exactly what you see in my post of 9:36 AM this morning, above):

<< In IE you can change font specs on a web site by tools->internet options->accessibility->Ignore font sizes specified
on Web pages, if you have a similar setting/option on Netscape that should enable you to change the font size using
ctrl-[ or ctrol-] in the usual way. >>
As I say, at most websites the Ctrl+] and Ctrl+[ do work. Not in AT FAQs, for me. Of course, this is using Netscape. >>
I understand the situation very well, I am telling you normally I can change font size by view/text size/larger or whatever,
but for AT I had to do the "ignore font sizes specified on Web pages" first, then still enlarge in in the normal fashion.
So, if you have a setting somewhere in Netscape to first ignore the settings from AT, THEN you will be able to ctrl-]
yourself into viewable range.
Also, Zuni is referring to this customize, not the one in your browser. >>
I realize that Zuni was talking about AT customize, which lets me select a preferred font and font size, which (as I say in
my last post in this thread) I have utilized for some time now (font size = 16xp).
When you talk about the Netscape settings, I suppose you are talking about this:
- - - -
Edit/Preferences/Fonts
Sometimes a document will provide its own fonts
Use my default fonts, overriding document-specified fonts
Use document-specified fonts, but disable Dynamic Fonts
Use document-specified fonts, including Dynamic Fonts
- - - -
Here I am quoting verbatim Netscape and show the way to find this dialog. The default in the three radio button options is
the last, "Use document-specified fonts, including Dynamic Fonts", which is the one I had. I will now change it to the first
(or should I use the second?). I hope this doesn't screw up a lot of other web stuff...
