Regarding the options browser and help browser menu text, I'm very puzzled why I can't change the font size here, especially given that the HTML version of the Mathematica book available on Wolfram's website has very readable text in the menu, although ironically suffers from the opposite problem, namely that the actual text for a given topic is illegibly small for math formulas (since presumably the math is stored as GIF image files for the browser to be able to display them). Since web browsers like IE can scale text within reasonable bounds the menu titles can be made quite readable. Presumably there should be a way to scale the menu text in Mathematica notebook *browsers* be they for help or option inspection. Are the browsers themselves notebooks with style sheets whose properties can be edited? Many thanks in advance. Sent via Deja.com http://www.deja.com/ Before you buy.
