Are You Squinting to Read this Small Print?
I have no practical control over the font size within a theme, and WordPress can’t change the size of my font without changing the font size of the blogs of everyone using this theme. But here’s what you can do at home: on your browser’s toolbar, there should be a “View” or “Page” option (those are the options for Internet Explorer 6 and 7 repectively). Click on that, and look for something like “text size”. Click that, and you can increase or decrease the size of the text displayed on your screen. Default is usually medium.
Now, this will change the size of the text for all sites you view. But after all, “Bull Runnings” is the most important site you visit.
Great advice. I kept cleaning my glasses!

Small print ! ! ! Here all the time I thought it was Braille dots…. :-) Thanks Harry
Hitting CTRL and ‘+’ key (plus sign key) at the same time is the keyboard shortcut for increasing the font size in MSIE 7 as well as in Firefox.
I just blogged about this and WordPress decided your post was “possibly related” - indeed it is.
I’m now grappling with a glitch in type spacing on a site I like, http://www.realclimate.org, on which using CTRL-+ yields junky looking type with letters colliding or spaced too wide, seemingly at random.
This evidently arises from using “letter-spacing:0″ in the “p,li,.feedback” style, as omitting that seems to solve the problem.
