Text too small to read?

How to fix your text size

Internet Explorer:
From the menubar, select:
View > Text Size > Medium
Mozilla Firefox:
From the menubar, select:
View > Text Size > Normal
Safari:
From the menubar, select:
View > Make Text Bigger

Why we use relative text sizing

The text styles on this web site are set with cascading style sheets (CSS) and relative sizing (EMs) methods.
