Changing Text Sizes
This site uses CSS relative font sizes, compatible with the user-specified ‘text size’ option in visual browsers. Changing the size of the text refers to making the text to appear smaller or bigger from its standard size. There are three options provided to you to set the size of the text that affect readability. These are:
- Largest: Displays information in the largest font size.
- Larger: Displays information in a font size larger than the standard font size.
- Medium: Displays information in a standard font size, which is the default size.
The website allows you to change the text size in three different ways, by clicking on the text size icons present at the top of each page and through Accessibility Options page.
