763717 2009-04-10 04:00:00 Friend of mine is loosing his sight and is a great computer enthusiast.

Anybody know if there is a way of making web pages have a larger font and preferably deeper Black.

We know that it's possible to enlarge the fonts in oe and he can read these OK.

Any help appreciated..Ron..

And in Display Settings, Effects change Screen Fonts to Clear Type.
Helps a bit.

Changing the DPI is a better solution than changing the resolution - everything gets bigger, but it still looks just as good, as the screen is still at its native resolution :thumbs:.

Really? I thought DPI was about scanning, images etc and can't recall it as an option in Control Panel. What do we do?
