User Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; Linux x86_64; rv:8.0) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/8.0 Build ID: 20111104165243 Steps to reproduce: This is a wish, not a bug. I would like to have the option to change my display of fonts to include a "bold" option. ctrl-+ makes the font bigger AND seems to make it bold as well. I'd love to have this be an option that I can turn on. Thanks for the GREAT browser!

George, Where exactly would you expect this in the Preferences dialog? Under "Content > Fonts & Colors > Advanced"?

You can use Preferences to change the default (serif/sans-serif/monospace) font families and select designs that tend to be a bit heavier (even in their "regular" face). I don't think there should be an option to make all fonts use the Bold weight by default. That would destroy significant styling in many cases. (How would you expect <b> or <strong> tags to be rendered, if the "plain" font is already bold?)

Andre, What you're suggesting sounds good to me. Something as simple as making the effect of <ctrl>-+ apply to all pages/URLs? To answer Jonathan's concern, perhaps making these use a larger size in the same font family, or just doing it how the <ctrl>-+ does it. George...
