Simple Font Resizer Module

This font resizer module changes font sizes THAT ARE SET AS PERCENTAGES in your css. Make sure you use PERCENTAGES for your font sizes or fonts will not resize. You can set the default percentage of the font size in the module params (default is 100%). The module uses a cookie to remember the user's preferred font size.

Version 1.0.2 - new param added, where you can choose to use images/icons as buttons (now default choice).

does what it says on the tin - that is it will change font sizes sitewide or if you just set the module to one page it will resize ALL the fonts on that page - i wanted it to just resize some parts of the contact page not all of it so it didnt help me. thanks anyway

This module seems to work fine; however, its inclusion of a default font percentage size means that it destroys any variable font sizing established via CSS on a page. That is, if a page includes elements in a number of variable font sizes (e.g. main text at 100%, headings at 125%, special list items at 80%, and so on), this module will convert *all* these to the default size setting of the module - effectively destroying the page design. As there does not appear to be any way *not* to set a default size (if one removes the setting, it simply defaults to 100% on module save), it effectively makes the module unusable on CSS designed pages where there is more than a single font size in use (which is generally all pages).

I added this module to my site because I had some criticisms from people that found my site hard to read. With this tool, they are now satisfied (or so I have been told anyway).
Recommended for your basic font size needs.

Worked fine sofar, until I have a mixed text and tables content. In this case the enlarged text in tables bursts my template.

It does what it should do - not more and not less. If you have problems with resizing check you CSS-files. You have to change all static PX to EM or %. Takes some time but this code is more accessable.

Works great Thank you!

Not all font get re-size and reset does not work properly. Content of the page does not get re-size. Only menus. More over if I reset if goes weird in larger size. When I increase the size contents get downward with out changing the size. It was a full mess up for me.

Its works, but changes the font of th whole website and doesnt change back. Plus when you do make thigns smaller or larger. The template a css rockettheme one doesnt move.. so with the smaller font you have a gigantic space between modules.

Thanks for this awesome module. Font resizing was the only thing my otherwise perfect template lacked. This works beautifully, right out of the box.

The ability to resize site fonts on-the-fly increases site accessibility and this module works well.

To make it work the way I wanted I had to go through the site css and change px values to em values for the classes that I wanted to resize.

This is no bad thing as if you don't want menu headings to be resized but only content you set the relevant headings to px and they are not affected.

It works! But unfortunately the lack of font icons is very missing. Looking forward to see not only text (+/-/reset) in front module.
