How to: Work around small text on TTU websites


Introduction

The TechAnnounce website font (or other sites using the default TTU template) may be too small for some users. Some users may be unable to increase the font size of the website using standard methods in their web browsing software. Typically, a user can increase or decrease a web site's font size according to his/her preference by using a built-in browser option.

Testing of the Text Magnification and Reader software on the adaptive/assistive station in the ATLC has no problems with the text used for the TechAnnounce site.
