FWIW I just found out that:
To increase font size:
Netscape 4.x - use successive "ctrl + ]" commands
Netscape 6.x, Mozila, Thunderbird - use successive "ctrl + +" commands (do not hit
"shift" key)
IE 5.x - on the "View" menu, point to "Text Size" and click the size you want
To decrease font size:
Netscape 4.x - use successive "ctrl + [" commands
Netscape 6.x, Mozilla, Thunderbird - use successive "ctrl + -" commands
IE 5.x - on the "View" menu, point to "Text Size" and click the size you want
For windows/IE there's no benefit, but for all the others changing the font size is a
"ctrl + +" away. Given that lots of IDL programmers use emacs, the use of the crtl key to
change fonts should make lotsa people happy.
The above works on your site, David. I just increased and decreased the font sizes no worries.
