I convinced my mom to get a macbook air this weekend, but she is having hard time reading the text in safari. She is used to a bigger computer that has larger text. is there anyway to increase the font in safari
CMD++ enlarges the entire page and Safari > Preferences > Advanced has an option to set the minimum font size.
Under safari -> preferences -> advanced I usually set the font size to minimum 14. Much more comfortable to read.
Teach her about the double tap to zoom features if you haven't already. I myself love that gesture in particular.
Set default zoom in Safari You can set a default zoom level for Safari. In this way you don't have to hit Cmd+ (or Cmd-) every time you start Safari 1) Open Textedit app, go to menu Format and select Make Plain Text 2) Copy and paste in the following: body { zoom: 130%; } You may change 130 to whatever number suits you 3) Save the file with .css extension (for example Safarizoom.css) in Library > Safari folder 4) In Safari, go to Preferences > Advanced. Under style sheet, select Other... and point to the file you created
