Why is the text on the site too big/too small?
This site uses "relative" font sizes. This means that they are based on the default font size in your browser. In most cases, we haven't changed the font size from that default at all. As a result, if the fonts look the wrong size to you, it means your browser is not configured correctly for your eyes, your screen and your display settings.
You may have never noticed before, because many sites use "absolute" font sizes - i.e. not related to your browser's default. If the fonts looked right to you, it is simply that by chance the author of the site happened to pick a font size that you were comfortable with. Other visitors to the site may not have been as lucky.
So how do you change the default font size in your browser? The answer to that question depends on which browser you are using, but the following instructions should guide you in the right direction:
- Go to the "View" menu.
- Select "Font Size" (or similar - other common options include "Text Size", "Text Zoom" or "Zoom")
- Increase or decrease the font size as required.
In many browsers, if you have a mouse with a scroll wheel, you can also change the font size by holding down the Ctrl key (Windows/Linux) or Command key (Mac) and turning the scroll wheel.
Many browsers also have keyboard-only shortcuts for changing the font size, but this is different for every browser. More information, and detailed instructions for several common browsers, can be found on the www. Alternatively your browser may have internal help documentation.
How do I print a page?
Many sites have a link on each page to a "printer-friendly version", which generally contains no images or menus, just the textual content of the page. Such a link is actually unnecessary, so there isn't one on this site.
To print a page, just use your browser's normal print function (e.g. "Print" under the "File" menu). The site will automatically format it for your printer, hiding unnecessary parts of the page, such as menus.
