Text Size (iMac 10.1.5 & XP)

Im currently at school on a new iMac 10.1.5 surfing Xp-erience.org and under "View>Text Zoom>120%" increses all the text size making it much more legible.

At home I have XP Pro and under "View>Text Size>Largest" doesn't change the text size at all making it still hard to read.

My question is why?
 
The text on the front page isn't specified with font sizes, its done with px sizing, therefore IE won't make it any smaller/bigger.
 
If you have a scroll wheel mouse, hold down Ctrl and scroll down a notch or two. ;)
 
xsivforce - yea I know about that - it doesn't help on the front page its the same as doing it through the menus.
 
I see what you're saying now. Yeah, as SpeedY_B said above it's done in px sizing.
 
thats something waddy should change - make the px size bigger so we dont all have to squint or get closer to the screen exposing our eyes and body to more radiation, or opening up accessories for the magnifying glass.... lol
 
I think the text size is fine (1600x1200)
I can read it with and without my glasses :happy:

Try using an alternative browser as its only IE that won't resize it, i've just tried with Mozilla and i can make it bigger and smaller as i wish :D
 
I am sure Opera would as well although I am too lazy to start it up right now. ;)
 
It does, most alternative browsers will use there page re-sizing methods correctly.
IE is useless and just doesn't do anything properly *burns it* :happy:

Also Hi EP and people. I found this place again while looking through a oooollllllldddd backup. I have filled over 10TB and was looking at my collection of antiques. Any bids on the 500Mhz Win 95 fix?
Any of the SP crew still out there?

Impressed you have kept this alive this long EP! So many sites have come and gone. :(
