Newbie Help!
« on: August 06, 2006, 03:55:13 am »
Hi!
I bought a C860 with a Cacko ROM  couple of days ago. I know absolutely nothing about Linux or Zaurus but I figured that this is probably a good way to start learning!
My problem is that I'm finding the text Opera nearly impossible to read. It seems to be about half the size of the text in all the other applications and is very, very small. I initially thought it was just me but my wife can't read it easily either.

NetFront is a little better, but not a whole lot!

Is there any way to increase the font size without using the magnification setting - this just seems to distort the whole page!

As I stated before, I have no problems with the other apps at all, just the browsers!

Any help would be appreciated but remember I don't know Linux from a  Lima bean!!

Ravi

Doesnt opera have an "Increase/Decrease Font Size" option.

I dont use Opera, but I would assume with it being a full size Browser it would have the functionality, it is normally under the View menu or maybe the change will need to be made with in the preferences/setting area

Hi

Menu -> Viewing -> Scale Page

Then set it to whatever you want - 175% works for me

The scale page function simply magnifies the whole page so even more of it is outside the screen. Also all the images are scaled too and therefore distorted!
Is there no way to just change the font to a bigger size or bolder etc.?
