I set the W510 and X61t to 140 DPI in the display control panel and select larger fonts in browsers and other apps, and use Ctrl+Plus liberally. My basic font setting in Firefox is proportional=Georgia/Verdana 18, monospace=Consolas 18, minimum font size 14. In Chrome it's Georgia 20, Consolas 20, minimum 15. (Each browser seems to scale things a bit differently - the actual sizes end up smaller.) -Mike _______________________________________________ Thinkpad mailing list [email protected] http://stderr.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/thinkpad
