Can We Change Fonts on Webpages?

Hi,
After using K-M for several weeks, more or less constantly, our eyes are hurting. We think it's because of the lightweight type font and we'd like to instruct KM to use something BOLDER on webpages. How do we elect an alternative font for the webpages' text and for typing into these little text-windows-boxes??

Is this a function of our userContent.css settings? or what?

In EDIT - PREFERENCES - DISPLAY there is a minimum font size field. You might try setting that.

OK, found that section. It was set at "0"--have no idea how to interpret what that means. Tried changing to various other numbers, but saw no change in font size, even though closing and reopening browser many times.

Then just fiddled around with Ctrl and + sign, and found that the overall size of page contents increases. Neat! Really helps legibility of material and soothes tired eyes!

Is there a downloadable Manual somewhere that describes all these nice functions and features, or is there only the ONLINE manual?

It is exciting to find new functions that make K-M even more useful!

Try 14 or 16 for font size. Anything below 10 is not likely to help.

22 works great for my tired old eyes. Anything much higher seems to get a bit rediculous.

Also, after clicking the page one time then rolling the mouse wheel while holding doun the Ctrl key changes the font size.
