Why have the fonts on this site changed?

Using your own Settings
The site will use the fonts you have set as your default, and simply adjust that font for headings and emphasis.
Changing font sizes
If the font is to small or large and you are using the Firefox web browser, hold down the <Ctrl> key and press + or - to make fonts larger or smaller.

Changing default Fonts
In the Firefox web browser, from the menu select "Tools" > "Options" > "Content" > "Fonts & Colors" and pick a default font you like. I use Arial 14 on my Windows computers.

If you use Internet Exploder Explorer my advice is DONT, Internet Explorer is like smoking. If you don't use it, don't start, if you do QUIT NOW. Move to Firefox or another good, safe browser.

If you do not have a choice go to "Tools" > "Internet Options" > "General" and click the "Fonts" Button at the bottom of the dialog box. There does not appear to be an option to set the font size in IE 6.0 by default, but there is a button that can be added by editing the toolbar. (I am running in a Windows 2000 VM, so that is all I have).Itis is not an option the average user will know about.

Why have we made this decision? Most web designers have very firm opinions on how they want their web sites to look. As a result, they tend to over-ride the browser settings being used by the visitor to the site.
This allows a lot of control over the look of the sight by the web designers.

Unfortunately it TAKES AWAY the control of the visitor. In some cases visitors have set their browsers to specific fonts and sizes because of poor eyesight, small monitors, unusual computer platforms or browsers, or just personal preference. We have decided to leave the fonts in the hands of you, our viewers.

If you feel strongly one way or the other, send us an e-mail with your opinion. We reserve the right to change it later!
