Webmaster Forum / Browsers / Internet Explorer / September 2005

On some web pages, the text size selection in the view menu has no effect.
To change the text size, I must go to Tools>Internet Options>Accessibility
and check the "ignore font sizes" box.  However, this can totally mess up
the formatting of some pages, with lines of text overlapping each other, or
text and graphics overlapping, making the text difficult or impossible to
read.

Is there some way to increase the text size without incurring these
problems?  Is there, perhaps, some way to zoom-in on a page, that will
increase the size of everything proportionally, thus retaining the
formatting?  (I find the use of the magnifier included with WindowsXP to be
very inconvenient)
