The font size I specify in my preferences is a DEFAULT. It applies only when a Web page fails to specify a font size. The minimum font size I specify in my preferences, however, overrides what a Web specifies if the latter is smaller. Some fonts or font/background color combinations are not easy to read even when they are not smaller than my specified minimum font size. For those cases, I have the PrefBar extension installed with its Font+ and Font- buttons (along with the Font Reset Button at <http://prefbar.tuxfamily.org/buttons.html#fontreset>). -- David E.
