ctrl + mousewheel not working

[Tony Young]

Hi,

To change the font size, we can press the ctrl key plus move the the
mousewheel button. But it works only for very few web sites. For some
web sites, it only change the font size for a frame in the web pages.
Do you know how to solve this problem? Please advise. Your help is
much appreciated.

Tony

Hi,
More and more pages are (unfortunately) specifying the font size in pixels.
View>Text Size or the Ctrl+Wheel trick can't resize this text. You could go
to Internet Options> General> Accessibility and check "Ignore font sizes."
This will help with some pages, but make other pages look odd.

Other browsers you might try, occassionally ;-)

Hope this helps,

Hi Tony,

Many websites specify a fixed font-size that cannot be changed by View>Font
Size.

I have developed a plug-in for IE that offers a more useful zoom page
feature:
