Got a question on window/font size. In Safari I have my minimum font set at 14. However this isn't quite enough. Problem when I go to the next size it lets me use which is 18 some of the areas or fonts start overlapping each other. At my current setting of 14 I can press command + and the window is perfect. Is there a way or a setting I can adjust to make it stay at that setting?

Open preferences go to appearance and hit the select button for the font. Look just above the scroll bar where you select the font size, there is a text box. You can put 16 or any size you want there. You do not have to settle for what is listed only.

Setting it at 16 doesn't work either - as far as not having text overlapping - Amazon and a lot of others can be a pain at that setting.

Changing the minimum font size doesn't do the same thing as the zoom function.
Zoom, zooms everything - pics, the boxes the info is in - everything.
Setting a higher minimum font size does not change the size of the box the text is in - so problem.

Best solution I've found is hitting the zoom for each site.

I went to increase the font to say 16 (even though it's not listed in the drop down) and it would not let me. I couldn't enter the 1... I tried to backspace the 4 out so I could change it to a 6... No dice... So I selected 18 to try that for a while... Thanks for trying...

Found a trick to put in 16

Double click inside the box so that it's highlighted
Type in a 6
then use the left arrow key
you'll be able to put in a 1 then
