Mandrake 8.1 and Konqueror

[mastertech01]

I installed Mandrake 8.1 and am trying to adjust to the nix way of life. Is there a way to view these forums using the Konqueror browser in larger fonts.. its too small to read for these tired old eyes and the magnifier doesnt work on this forum. In windows and IE I used to set my browser to ignore fonts specified by web page. Is there such a thing on this browser?

Thanks

John

There is probably an option like that, but I dont use Konqueror. KDE just bugs me and takes too long to install. Not to mention I havent used X in MONTHS. So consider this a really tired rambling bump

knqueror = teh suck.
I am not sure off hand if you can ignor fonts with it but I would imagine so, since I have yet to meet a nix with good graphical fonts out of the box. one of the first things I do is import TT fonts from winders as soon as I install linux. It helps a _lot_ and will allow you to use fonts that look good. there are countless pages on how to do it, its a little tricky at first and I know mandrake includes a wizard for it, don't use it, do it manually. If you need a hand message me and I'll dig up instructions. Cheers

I use KDE, and I really like Konqueror, but to each his own.

I don't use mandrake, but you should be able to change the size and whatnot in the KDE font app.

Thanks everyone. I found the adjustments in the Control Center.
