Well to make it simple using about:config from the browser (very slow BTW)
I just inserted
font.minimum-size.x-western
in the "Name" and
20
in the "value" box and hit "Set Preference".

I walked away for a cup of coffee (did I say slow), came back and found that the font size was now changed on the
about:config
page to a more readable size. I closed the page and restarted the browser.

Now my browser opens and displays text by default at what I used to have to zoom to 120% to achieve.
A much better user experience.

Previously I had found that 120% was about the max to use before the "fit to width" feature started moving web objects arround...

How do we reverse it to default? I'm afraid to do it in case I can't go back.....

If you change to 20 does it keep everything without scrolling to the sides? Can someone post exactly what to put in.

Only if you turn the optimized view option on.

Can someone post exactly what to put in.
1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, 12,... You get the idea?

has anyone filed a bug report with nokia about the lack of an option to change the font size in the browser menus? I imagine the small font is a deal breaker for many potential owners.

(PS: anyone having trouble with the rendering of this forum the last few days?)

By befaullt some configuration setting does not exist.

1. Open browser. In address bar type
Code:
about:config
2. In 'Set Preference' group, in Name textbox type
Code:
font.minimum-size.x-unicode
, in Value
Code:
16
3. Save new string by pressing 'Set Preference' button.
4. Repete steps 2-3 for
Code:
font.minimum-size.x-western
Code:
font.minimum-size.x-cyrillic
Code:
font.minimum-size.x-user-def
Restart browser.
In example 16 - minimum font size for text in browser window, change it to your as you like.
It does not work for me at all.
I do have all the strings created, though.
