Small fonts

After upgrading to a large LCD I now find that some fonts are way too small.
I have increased font size of text and icons on desktop. This in turn has increased the page headings of web pages. The thing is that the text is really small. Foe example as I write this post I can barely see it. How can I change these fonts.

Have you tried clicking on 'View' on the toolbar then 'Text size' and increasing from there?

Itonly alters the page you are on. It isn't a permanent fix for all web pages.

If you're using Firefox you can override page font settings - Tool - Options - Content - Advanced - untick the check box and then set your own font size. You will find that some web pages look awful but the font size will be to your liking.
