Philipp - PLEASE can you do something about replacing the fixed-sized fonts with variable sized 1s. I have asked you about this before, & you said you would do something about it soon, & I know you're a busy guy, but that was months ago!
 
Just to show you why it bothers me so much, I've taken a couple of screen-grabs of the prob. I use a resolution of 1024x768 [& have a 20" monitor, so it's not a monitor size issue], & have IE's View -> Text Size setting set to Largest. Another forum I read regularly uses variable sized fonts, & with the way I have IE set, it looks like this:
 

 
Nice & readable.
But here's what NTC looks like:
 

 
The text is about 1/2 the size [maybe even less than 1/2] than that in the 1st example. Changing the Text Size setting makes absolutely no difference to it whatsoever, because it's done with fixed sized fonts. Fixed sized fonts are evil & using evil fonts is bad, m'kay?
 
PS - same applies to the main page, & can you also fix the "read more" links on the main page so that they open in a new window like they used to please.

What browser are you using? I am using Phoenix in Gentoo Linux (1.4 rc2) and I haven't had any issues with font size. Also, in Phoenix, when I do get to sites with ridiculously small fonts I can just hold the ctrl key and then use "+" and "-" to increase/decrease the font size displayed.

IE 6. I can make them look larger, but it requires using the Accessibility option to "Ignore specified font sizes", which takes 6 clicks every time you want to turn it on or off, & it doesn't just affect the 1 window, it affects all open IE windows & any future 1s you open until you turn it off again, which is a pain.

Uggh, too many forums. Trying to figure out where I can stick WinPE in there somewhere. I guess another forum....System Recovery perhaps?
