How To Enlarge Small Fonts Automatically in Safari on Your Mac
Are you having any issue reading Safari’s tiny fonts on your Mac? It is very easy to make all of the smallest fonts in that you can't read in Safari bigger by default with just a quick change in Safari Preferences. To fix this just Simply follow the steps below.
In the Safari browser, you may be familiar with the increasing or decreasing of the font size on a website to website basis by making use of the Command+Plus (“+”) and the Command+Minus (“-“) shortcuts on your keyboard. But if you do not want to fiddle with those settings for every of site you open, Safari has a setting that allows you to increase the minimum font size and you can have it applied to all the websites you visit. You can see the the web page in Safari, it uses the default font size at (12-point).
This method is similar to Safari’s Page Zoom feature. But while the zoom feature enlarges both the content and the text also, the font size feature still retains the original page formatting and does not touch the media on the page only the text font increases.
Getting Started
1. To get started, first open the Safari browser on your Mac. Tap “Safari” located at the top menu bar and select “Preferences” from the drop-down menu.
2. After the Preferences in Safari browser, still in the Safari Preferences, tap the “Advanced” tab. Now navigate the Advanced tab in the Safari Preferences
3. In the “Advanced” tab, locate where the “Accessibility” section is and then tap the check mark that is next to “Never Use Font Sizes Smaller Than” that is located right in the drop down menu, select between the “14,” “18,” or “24” point of font sizes.
4. If you are finding the text really hard to read, you can go with the 24-point font size, which will double your browser default text size for most websites. However, for some people, they will choose the 18-point size, it is one sweet spot most people love.
5. Now you need to enable the option "Never Use Font Sizes Smaller Than". You will instantly see the text reflect in all open websites, they will change to a larger size.
Text in Safari at 24 Points
A web page in Safari that is making use of the 24-point minimum font size is in most times used by people who could nearly view the 18 points.
If later you have a change of mind and you want your font to go back to default smaller font sizes back, then you click on “Safari” in the menu bar and then you can navigate to the "Preferences > Advanced", and then you uncheck the “Never Use Font Sizes Smaller Than” option. Alternately, you can just choose a smaller font size from your menu.
If you would like to achieve the same thing on your iPhone or your iPad, you can’t make a blanket changes that applies to all your websites, but you can for sure increase or decrease the font size on any of your web page in Safari in just a few clicks away.
