Make Web pages easier to read in Internet Explorer (continued)

Size is not the only font property that can affect the readability of a Web page. Font style matters also. Some sites use serif fonts such as Times New Roman. These fonts are standard for print media but are harder to read on Web pages. If you wish a more Web friendly style of font, you can set IE to display pages using a sans serif font such as Arial. Use the accessibility settings dialog shown in the figure from the previous blog entry and check “Ignore font styles specified on Web pages”. To choose the font that will be used, go to the Internet Options dialog and click the button “Fonts…” The window shown in the figure below will open. Scroll to the desired font and click “OK”.
