For your convenience, we've provided you with a number of different ways in which you can view this website.
Most people find a style such as Arial or Verdana more comfortable or easy to read.
This website uses Verdana, Geneva, Arial, and sans-serif fonts. The fonts are sized in 'ems' but it may be of further help to many to follow the links to accessibility websites shown below.
Ems and Percentages are considered to be the best units for sizing fonts and layouts in CSS [Cascading Style Sheets]. They are resizable in all Web browsers that support resizing, they are specified relative to the user's font size preferences, and can therefore adapt to the viewer's screen. If these sizes are still not suitable, please follow how to increase the size of the text.
To increase the text size using one of these browsers
- Internet Explorer: View > Text size
- Firefox: View > Text size
- Opera: File > Preferences > Fonts > Minimum font size (pixels)
Alternatively, scroll with the wheel of your mouse whilst holding down the control key.
These links will also show you how you can change fonts in your browser and many other ways to access the web.
