Use the Text Preferences to change the display and printing of text in &browser.name.prefix;TM &browser.name.suffix;.
Access the text preferences by choosing
Screen Font and Size set the text font and size used by &browser.name; to display HTML pages. These settings affect normal HTML text, but they do not affect the text in applets running on your page. You may also find that some pages have "text" that is actually in a graphic, and thus is not affected by the typeface display settings.
Printer Font and Size set the text font and size used to print pages. Different options are provided for screen display and printed output to allow for differing requirements for optimal text display. For example, you may want a smaller type size for printed output than you want for screen display, or you may prefer fonts without serifs for screen display, and fonts with serifs for printed display. (Serifs are fine lines that "finish off" the main strokes of a letter, such as the horizontal line at the bottom of the letter "p" when displayed in a serif typeface.)
If a page cannot be printed in the specified Printer Font Size without "chopping off" some wide text, such as tables or preformatted HTML text (for example, code samples), the page will be printed with a scaled-down type size. You may want to try printing such pages in Landscape mode in order to successfully print the page using the specified Printer Font Size.
When you visit a link, the color of the link (the underline) changes to remind you that you've recently visited that link. By default, the color reverts back to the unvisited link color after 14 days. Use the Visited Links Expire After text field to change the number of days before the link color reverts back. Click Expire Now to force the links to expire immediately.
Use the Underline Links option to specify whether HTML hypertext links are underlined. When the Underline Links option is not selected, hypertext links are displayed in a different color. When the Underline Links option is selected, links are both a different color and underlined. The default is to have links underlined. In either case, when a link has previously been followed, the color of the link changes.
Some HTML pages contain a tag that tells a section of text to blink. For example, (if the HTML blink tag is honored). By default, &browser.name; does honor the request to display blinking text. If you do not want to see blinking text, select the Turn Off Blinking Text option.
