is it possible to make the default font larger on all pages in my wiki?
We're constructing a family wiki, with family anecdotal stories, etc. Anyway, the "target audience" would benefit from a larger font. The target author would also benefit from it not requiring any additional fiddling around on his part. His daughter (me!) would like to simplify it for him, and somehow change the default font size, for the point-n-click editor to just come up automatically, say to "small" rather than extra small. Can this be done? Thanks!!!

Inappropriate?There are things you can do on your end, to set the font size for your browser to be bigger, which would probably help in general for them who have trouble seeing ridiculously small words. I don't think there's a simple way of changing the default font size in the wiki editor though, unless you created a template where all the text was a larger size, but you'd have to experiment with that.
I'll ask about this as a feature request though - I think having something like this would go a long way toward encouraging an older generation to use the internet, which would be an awesome thing. -
Inappropriate?A trick I routinely use myself, to make sites more readable... If you have a wheel-mouse, click in any page, hold the "control" key and move the wheel down to make letters bigger, up to make them smaller. This works on web pages, and also zooms in in most software applications. Just try it out to see how it works.
Not quite what you had in mind, but it may help you access more sites easier.
I’m hoping this helps...

Inappropriate?Yes! How simple, and abundantly cool?!? Thank you...I'm one of those who marked it useful, for whatever that designation is worth to the cyberworld out there.

Inappropriate?If you have a CSS-enabled wiki, you can insert the following in your wiki.css file:
#displaycontent p {
font-size: 120% !important;
}
that makes everything in the main viewing area larger by 120% (you can of course change that as you wish). It overpowers everything set to the default size. If you manually set the size, then the manually-set size will still override this code.
