We are currently looking at a beta version of knowledge broader and our first reaction is "The font size is too small". Does anyone know how to change the font to a larger font? I would also like to change the font size used by dialogue. FLAME ON A general comment I have about the font sizes used by Apollo is, "You guys must have great vision!" The default fonts used are much too small and fine. They are too hard to read and cause a lot more eye strain than necessary. FLAME OFF For our monochrome stations we use the f7x13.b as our normal font. The size is ok and the bold gives a brighter font (which is needed to overcome the low intenesty screen and normal office light). For our color stations we use the default. Could someone please comment on why Apollo uses such a small font. -- Roger E. Benz Phone = (217) 223-3211 Quintron Corporation Quincy, Il UUCP: tiamat!quintro!reb@uunet or quintro!reb@lll-winken

Knowledge Broker does not format pages whenever they are requested; instead, it displays pre-formatted page images, taken directly from the original book. Consequently, issues like font size and page layout are determined before a document is entered into Knowledge Broker. We are working on improving the readability of our documentation, both on paper and in Knowledge Broker.
