Small cygwin.com fonts

[Jon Grant]

Hello

Did you know the fonts on cygwin.com display quite small?

e.g. this HTML:

<table align=right border=0 cellspacing=0 cellpadding=4><tr><td
align=center bgcolor="#eeeeee">
<a href="setup.exe"><img src="cygwin-icon.gif" border=0 width=28
height=28 alt=""><br><font
size=-2>Install<br>Cygwin<br><b>now</b></font></a></td></tr>

Likewise this text:
===========

Cygwin!
Install or update
now!
(using setup.exe) 	or 	get help on
using setup.exe. 	or 	find where a package or file lives in the Cygwin release.
===========

Would you be able to boost it to the normal size by not reducing the
font size by -2 ?
I'm not on this list, so please include my email address in any replies.
Best regards, Jon

  You can do something about that for yourself: hold down Ctrl and scroll your
mouse wheel up and down.  (Advice based on FF, may differ in other browsers.)

    cheers,

FF also allows one to set the size for various font categories and a minimum
font size.

Yes, I use this workaround from time to time.

However, how about making the text a regular size by default? Saves us 
all having to Zoom. Do you know who has access to the website repository?

I'm not on this list, so please include me in any replies.

Cheers, Jon

I do.  The font was obviously made small by design.  It isn't going to be
changed because one person complains.
