Ubuntu

extremely small type on ubuntu forums--can't read anything!!!

Asked by Cheewha Palen

My issue is with the forums themselves. When I go to the Ubuntu Forums site the entire site appears very very very tiny and the type is illegible. There is so much information there that I need to access but at this point for two weeks now has been impossible. No other website I visit has this issue. I have deleted cookies from my computer and still the same problem.

HELP!!!!

I am new to linux/ubuntu and I need the forums!

You did not mention what browser you are using. I will assume that you are using one of the following: firefox, epiphany or konqueror.

You have two options:

-- Increasing type size for the current tab by pressing Ctrl and + when on a webpage that displays small fonts (this works on firefox, epiphany and konqueror

-- Going to preferences and changing minimal font size. This will apply the setting to all pages, no only the current one. If you are using firefox, go to Edit-->Preferences-->Contents, click on Advanced and select a minimum font size from the minimum size dropbox. If you are using epiphany, go to Edit-->Preferences-->Fonts and Styles and choose an higher minimum size. If you are using konqueror, go to Settings-->Configure Konqueror-->Fonts and select and higher minimum size

Thank you very much! The ctrl and + resized the type so it is readable and without making changes to other websites which were displaying properly. For the record I am using Firefox.
