Can anyone tell me how to increase the default font size? I have to increase the font size on each page I visit.
THANKS for any help!

Hay Ziggy:

Here is an easy way to change the default font size.

Type about:config in the URL and enter
Scroll down to ' font.size.variable.x-western' press Enter and type in 16 or 18 or 20 or what ever font size you want. Then close the browser and reopen.

Hi hope that Ziggy is still with us but if not this might be useful for others. While what Digg offers covers most fonts it doesn't cover 100% of fonts. Now with someone like me, who has poor vision, I need ALL fonts to be of a given size. So I have this in my user.js file, found in "C:\Program Files\K-Meleon\Profiles\default\XXX.slt" (The "XXX.slt" is a security-coded file and differs from install to install for security reasons.):

user_pref("browser.display.use_document_fonts", 0);
user_pref("font.default", "sans-serif");
user_pref("font.minimum-size.x-unicode", 16);
user_pref("font.minimum-size.x-western", 16);
user_pref("font.name.cursive.x-unicode", "Tahoma");
user_pref("font.name.cursive.x-western", "Tahoma");
user_pref("font.name.fantasy.x-western", "Tahoma");
user_pref("font.name.monospace.x-unicode", "Tahoma");
user_pref("font.name.monospace.x-western", "Tahoma");
user_pref("font.name.sans-serif.x-unicode", "Tahoma");
user_pref("font.name.sans-serif.x-western", "Tahoma");
user_pref("font.name.serif.x-unicode", "Tahoma");
user_pref("font.name.serif.x-western", "Tahoma");
user_pref("font.size.fixed.x-unicode", 16);
user_pref("font.size.fixed.x-western", 16);

You'll notice that the very first user_pref is set to "0". This turns ALL page fonts off and forces the browser to use ONLY the fonts that you have listed below within those parameters. Most should find a size 16 large enough if they're sitting about 12" (30cm) away from their screen (I sit about 20cm from mine).

If you don't wish to force the browser to use ALL these fonts but allow some page fonts to slip through that are outside the above listed then place a hash (#) before the first line when saving the file. Then most of the fonts that fall under the above category will appear in Tahoma (or whichever you specify).

I hope this helps someone?
