How to Fix Your Text Size

If the text on this site is too small for you to read, it is likely because someone has changed your browser's text size property. The problem can be easily fixed by adjusting the text size back to the default value (or larger if that suits you).

Adjusting Text Size in Internet Explorer:

From the menubar, select: View > Text Size > Medium

Adjusting Text Size in Netscape/Mozilla:

From the menubar, select: View > Text Zoom > 100%

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. We try to use accessible web coding standards so that people with visual impairments can adjust their browser's settings accordingly. Because most web sites use fixed text sizes, you may not have seen this problem before visiting our site. When a site uses fixed text sizes, visitors have no simple way to make the fonts larger or smaller. We believe that the user should have some control over the browsing experience, so we use relative sizing. To learn more about these issues, visit:
