Madelaine McMasters Posted April 28, 2017 Share Posted April 28, 2017 (edited) Me Menu->Preferences->Advanced Drag the "UI Size" slider to the right to make the text bigger. You're a good Dad, Max! ;-). Edited April 28, 2017 by Madelaine McMasters 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Whirly Fizzle Posted April 28, 2017 Share Posted April 28, 2017 You didn't say which viewer your daughter uses. If she happens to use Firestorm viewer, you can actually increase just the font size, as well as the UI size Madelaine mentioned above. On Firestorm: Avatar Preferences -> User Interface -> Fonts. Here you can adjust the font size, choose a different font (we include an all caps font which some people with vision problems find easier to read). Avatar -> Preferences -> Chat -> Visuals -> Onscreen console font size (this just changes the size of the console/chat text only). Avatar -> Preferences -> User Interface -> 2D overlay -> UI scaling (this is the setting Maddy gave you above). Avatar -> Preferences -> Skins - we also have some higher contrast viewer skins available which may help with vision problems, for example, choose Firestorm Skin, High Contrast theme. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
arabellajones Posted May 25, 2017 Share Posted May 25, 2017 This is a 2009 document from the BBC on computers and visual impairment. It's likely you'll know all the general ideas, but it's ironic that it appeared at around the time the official viewer dropped the alternative viewer skins. The official Wiki page on the Starlight add-on This restore the provision of alternative viewer colour schemes for the Official Viewer, and is the tech used in Firestorm. Looking at the defaults of several programs, not just SL Viewers, the residents of Silicon Valley hath not the eyes of mortal men. Some things you may already know, but this is a discussion of typography for the visually impaired. Perhaps controversially, it says that the difference between serif and sans serif fonts may not matter, but some serif fonts are bad for other reasons. For instance, Times Roman has some huge differences in stroke width. One issue those documents don't mention is the way people will throw foreign-language unicode characters into a name as an ornate replacements for standard ASCII. It's a vile habit, and using a font which doesn't include them may block a hack that's being used to make fake websites Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

arabellajones Posted September 10, 2020 Share Posted September 10, 2020 About the only change I can see since the original post seems to be in the support for the Starlight add-on. The default colour choices for the SL Viewer are still horrible, and I am not sure the Starlight option is still usable. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The post was referencing Firestorm viewer. I don't know if there's an option on the official viewer if that's what you're using. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
