Enlarging text
Well I decided to post about making text larger on a web page. Why is it such a pain with most sites out there. I have a 20.1″ LCD. I like to have larger than 8 pt text to read. So I make the text larger with ctrl +. the text gets larger, but is confined to a 3″ wide column. So if I want larger text, I get 3 words per line. WTF :/ So I have a 3″ wide center column, with 3 words per line, and 3″ wide columns on either side with ads and links to other “stuff” and the 7″ of space is empty. This, to say the least, sucks.
I think this has to do with CSS (or maybe poorly implemented CSS) I’m pretty sure I have seen CSS designs that allow you to use all of you screen real estate for browsing. I need to find a firefox plugin to “fix” this. I think grease monkey has the ability to fix this as well.
