Increasing
Font Size
On computer
monitors some web pages with white or yellow
lettering placed on a black background are hard
to read. However, on WebTV this looks good. Black
lettering on a white background is hard to read
on WebTV, but computer users prefer this.
If you retain the
default text font size on your browser, which is
usually 10-point type, the display of white
letters on black or black letters on white may be
hard to read. Even when we utilize a background
pattern, the letters can get lost in the
background pattern if the text font is too small.
The web page itself doesn't decide what size of
letters to print on your screen, you do, with
your browser.
The fix is to
increase the font size that your browser uses to
display text on your screen.
Microsoft Internet Explorer
1. Pull
down the View Menu.
2. Select
the Font Menu.
3. Select
the Larger or Larger selection.
Netscape Navigator
1. Pull
down the Options Menu; click on General
Preferences. Select the Fonts page tab and
examine the available options.
2. Click
on Choose Font and change the size to 12 or 14.
3. Try a
different Font style if you like.
4. Click
OK and click OK again.
WebTV
1. Go to
Setup.
2. Select
Text Size.
3. Choose
Medium or Large.
If you increase
your font size too big, some lines or headers may
wrap around onto a second line. However, you may
appreciate the increased viewing comfort on all
your favorite web pages.
