(mozilla) Preferences -> Appearance -> fonts and enter a reasonable value for the minimum font size. apart from that, i pretty much think you could be stuck with using other apps to finish up the text before printing it... ( oh and here's a second idea, if the text renders readably in your screen, try print to .ps file, open it to make sure it looks nice, and then print that one... ) HTH Damian >
