Is that what it is? Geez, I've noticed that there are a large number of sites these days with text that I can not get Konqueror to increase in size. For those of us over forty, the inevitable presbyopia means that these sites are a #$(&^! nuisance to read. And I'm to the point that unless the content is important to me, I give the site a miss cuz it's too goddamn painful to read.

Install Galeon. It supports a minimum font size.

Konqueror also has that since months already. And I think the zoom feature also works correctly for fonts with 'px' size units in KDE 3.0, at least I've never seen the zoom problem since then.

Use a recent build of Mozilla. It also supports setting a minimum font size (although in older releases, it's a pain to configure this option; current releases have put the config option in the GUI finally).
