Font Size on Websites

When I go to certain websites, once they load, the font size is so large I can not view the website. Any ideas?

Hi Mike,
I checked system preferences and my resolution was
correct. I also tried using other browsers such as
yahoo and google but I got the same results. Next I
will resett safari and see how that goes.
Thanks again.
Mike
Hmm... Yahoo and Google are not browsers... unless you mean you went to those pages and they had large text as well. Try this...

Maintaining Fixed Font Size Across Websites?

I find that there seems to many widths employed for web pages, with concomitantly different font sizes.
I am readily able to compensate by adjusting the width of each page by using +Command plus/minus+
Once I've adjusted a web page to a suitable width, is there any means to make that adjustment stick for whenever that page may be subsequently re-accessed?

Right now that field remains unchecked. I'm mulling over whether this would be helpful.
Since your main complaint seemed to be font size, I'm not sure how it wouldn't be. I use that setting on my 17" MacBook Pro and never have a problem with sites using too small a font. If font size is not the issue, you need to clarify.
What I'd really like is to achieve a fixed page width for each site that I frequent.
Why? That wouldn't affect font size, and would probably mess up the appearance of many sites that use fixed widths. It is conceivably possible, maybe, with the right CSS code added to Safari using Safari -> Preferences -> Advanced -> Style Sheet. But that wouldn't affect font size.

After the recent update the entire browser, including menus, icons, and everything on the web page, are too small. Fonts are smaller, pics are smaller, zoom settings will not remain universal. Minimum font size will make text readable, but all pics are to

The new update has screwed up my browser settings, I cannot get them fixed and Im pissed because my computer is an eye-sore to read until this is fixed! EVERYTHING in the browser is smaller, fonts, menus, icons, web page content, pictures, tables, etc. I have set the minimum font in the settings and the text is just to a point where it is easily readable at the maximum size setting, but all the menus and icons are still tiny and hard to read. The last version I had installed worked fine with no add-ons needed. Everything fit the screen fine and was easily readable without modification. I want this version off my PC and I want the last version I had back on but I dont know what version it was!!!!!!! ARARGGGG
In fact, this stupid troubleshooting window that I am in filling out this form doesnt fit the page right at all, and edges of the text are cut off, so Im not even sure what some of these boxes are asking for!!

I will use Firefox WHEN the font stays the size I want on each site. I am tired of changing it every time I hit a new page!!! It's a PITA. If it is not fixed, I'm back to I.E. 8.0 Thank you.

How do you get the font size back to normal on a website?

The size of my fonts on my hotmail acct are tiny. Don't know how it happened, & I can't get it back. Using the "Tools" menu, to attempt to change fonts, changes it for all sites. How do I change the font size back for just one website? Can anyone help?

I just downloaded FF4 and now my font size in Gmail is SO small. Not so with other websites. How can I fix this?

I don't know how to adjust the font size just for Gmail. Other websites don't seem to be affected but Gmail is showing up unbearably small.

Why won't website navigation links/images/buttons load properly when I set my own font & font size options?

I've just noticed a glitch in Firefox when I go to Tools >> Options >> Content >> Fonts & Colors >> Advanced, and set my own font and font size, and force websites to use them. For some reason, this makes websites' navigation buttons fail to show properly.
For example, a website's search bar will show, but the magnifying glass icon will be a box-with-tiny-code. The boxes-with-tiny-code will also replace things like heart icons for Like buttons, arrow icons for Reply and Page Up/Down, things like that.
The link itself is still there, but with all the buttons replaced by identical-looking boxes-with-tiny-code, it's impossible to see what to click without mousing over and hoping a pop-up label will tell me what to use.
Is there a way around this, because I'd like to be able to set a larger font size without making webpages unusable?
ETA: Images of my Tumblr dash, which shows the prblem most clearly, and the font & size options I picked.

It could be there is no room for the icons to show properly.

Lightroom website font size

I am building a website using Lightroom 1.2. I don't seem to be able to change the font size. The default settings for the 'view' and 'contact' buttons, the photo titles and the 'about these photos' section is very small. Does anyone know how to make it larger?

It depends how deep you want to get into editing stuff.
Once you've exported the gallery into a directory called, say, GALLERY, go to GALLERY/resources/styles and edit the file style.xml.
Find the line containing "galleryInfoText" and change the size entry from 12 to whatever you fancy. That does the "About these photos" entry.
Find the line containing "contactInfoText" and do the same. I can't work out how to change the depth of the menu bar though...
That will do the text size changes.
I've no idea how to change the View button size, unfortunately.

I seem to get a variety of font sizes with different websites, usually very small compared to IE. How can I enlarge these?

Facebook's page is oversized and bleeding off the page. Gmail is a small font, shop.com/pamguttman is a very small font. I've looked at screen resolution but that doesn't change anything.

How can I change the font size on the post of WordPress?

I have found three websites which address WordPress style sheets:
Playing With Fonts: http://codex.wordpress.org/Playing_With_…
Font Size and Color: http://en.support.wordpress.com/editors/…
How to Change Font Size In Wordpress: http://www.ehow.com/how_5469172_change-f…
Here are the instructions from the third website above:
Things You'll Need:
Site designed in Wordpress
Administrator access
Step 1
First, to change the font size on a Wordpress site you need to log into the site as administrator. If you do not know how to reach the login page, simply add "/wp-login.php" after the "www.url.com" address. Then login using the admin sign in.
Step 2
Next, get to the Wordpress file editor by going to Appearance->Editor.
Step 3
Once in Editor, identify the Stylesheet file (style.css) and click to edit. This is usually located on the right hand side under the "Styles" heading.
Step 4
Once in the style.css file, you want to conduct a search for "fontsize". This parameter is used throughout the style.css file and is the parameter used to control font size. Next to "fontsize" you will see something like "16px". Simply increase or decrease the "16" to change font size. The tricky part is to figure out which "fontsize" you want to edit.
The way to do this is to first look at the heading it is under. If it is under "comment-template", it is obviously related to either the font size of the comments themselves or perhaps the comment form or the date/time stamp of the comment.
It may take a little trial and error to find the right "fontsize" to modify. Simply modify the one you think is correct and in a separate window, reload the page with the font you are looking to modify. If it did not change, undo the previous edit and try a different "fontsize".
I went to the Dashboard and clicked on the “Appearance” icon on the left-hand side, and then clicked on editor. I clicked on Stylesheet (style.css), but I have not been able to find the “fontsize” that would change my post font size. As the author writes: "The tricky part is to figure out which "fontsize" you want to edit." Some of the font sizes are given as a percentage, and I don’t know if these come into question, i.e., if I should try changing one of these to see what happens.
The end result is that I still have not been able to change my post font size, other than by using the Heading-1-through-6 option, which, I understand, is not the best way to do it.

From John Waller: “If you're using IE8, hit F12 to launch Developer Tools which give you a point and click method of locating the relevant CSS rule on screen.”
I have Internet Explorer 8 (IE8) so tried this method.
This sounded like another promising possibility; however, I have not been able to change the font size in my post using this method.
I have gone to Dashboard > Posts > Edit > then moused-over my post > clicked on "edit" and then hit F12. An enormous amount (20 pages or more) of CSS appears. I tried picking out the font size that I thought pertains to the post (under Text Area), and I have changed the font size from 13px to 24px; however, I have not been able to “save” the new setting. When I go back to it, it is back to 13px.
As a result, I have not been able to use a trial-and-error method to establish which font size I must change in order to change the font size of my post.

How to change font size for certain domains in Safari

I want to increase the font size for a few websites that have font's sizes I can't read. I already use a CSS file that changes my link colors so I can modify that files if that helps.
Here's a website I need to change http://www.boxofficeguru.com/weekend.htm. Whenever I go to this page I have to increase the font size and when I go to a different site I have to make the font size smaller. Any ideas?

If there are really only a few sites that you have problems with, just go to the site, and click the Command key along with the plus key. This will temporarily increase the size of the type.
Command and the minus(-) key makes type smaller. These commands will work on a per site basis.

My touchpad no longer controls font size in foxfire, which means I can't read some of my emails, WHY?

How can I change font size on my email? I used to be able to use the touch-pad on my laptop. It no longer works in firefox but still works on document files, so it's YOUR FAULT!! It always worked until I installed firefox 4.

Some gestures have been removed in Firefox 4.
You can restore the zoom feature by changing the values of the related prefs on the about:config page.
browser.gesture.pinch.in -> cmd_fullZoomReduce
browser.gesture.pinch.in.shift -> cmd_fullZoomReset
browser.gesture.pinch.out -> cmd_fullZoomEnlarge
browser.gesture.pinch.out.shift -> cmd_fullZoomReset
browser.gesture.pinch.latched -> false
To open the about:config page, type about:config in the location (address) bar and press the "Enter" key, just like you type the url of a website to open a website. 
If you see a warning then you can confirm that you want to access that page.
