How to adjust font size on screen
Internet website visitors who have impaired sight often find that the font chosen by webmasters is too small for them to read comfortably. The font size displayed by the internet browser can be easily adjusted. One way is to find the text size setting for your browser's page settings, and adjust it there to a level that is comfortable.
Some browsers offer accessibility plug-ins that can be downloaded and installed. Typically such plug-ins will offer a zoom function to enlarge the font size on screen.
Note: If the font size for a particular web page cannot be re-sized, then it is because the webmaster formatted the page using an absolute (non-scalable) sizing system, instead of a relative sizing system.
