This feature is in MSIE 5.0.  It's very handy because many pages have the
"wrong" font size (too big or too small).  I'd like to see it in Mozilla/5.0.

It might not be too hard to add this function as an additional action you can
configure for the mousewheel.  The mousewheel prefs dialog is undergoing a
redesign right now; I'll take a look at this when that's done.

I've got this working, to an extent.  There are two main problems though:

- The browser window is not getting repainted after reflowing when you change
the font size.

- I still need to figure out how the per-language font settings should work


This also will not work right until bug 24343 is fixed.  This feature might have
to slip to M15.
Depends on: 24343
Marking M15, the blocking bug still doesn't seem to be fixed.

OS: Windows 2000 → All
See also bug 32646 which proposes a full zoom feature - one which wouldn't just
change the font size but zoom images too.

This is what Ctrl+Mousewheel does currently in Opera, BTW.
As also suggested in that bug, general page zoom would also be much harder to
implement at this point.

I do still plan to have font resize be an option, but I'm currently waiting to
see how the Enlarge/Reduce text size items (on the View menu) are going to be
implemented.  erik@netscape.com is working on that.
Hardware: PC → All
This should be able to be implemented as soon as Erik's text zoom feature is 
done (soon).
Target Milestone: M15 → M16
*** Bug 37960 has been marked as a duplicate of this bug. ***
This is now implemented, and turned on by default.
