Enlarging text size in browser (getting old, alas)

[StarvingButStrong]

(Yes, getting old. And I spend many, many hours staring at computer screens, and my eyes get tired.)

At work my computer runs linux, and my browser is Mozilla. When I have trouble making out the text on a web page I just click on 'view' and pick a degree of zoom. It works, other than text lines running over areas it shouldn't.


Here at home I have WinXPHome, and use IE6.0. Under 'view' there is a 'text size' option that runs in five steps from 'largest' to 'smallest'.

The thing is, I've just tried each and every setting on this website (and one other) and there is not the least change in how large the text appears.

What an I doing wrong? If this is universally broken in 6.0, is it fixed in the new version?
