#3208: Web's print size control should be documented

To change the size of the font in
Web (such as to address a reading
disability), one has to load the
address about:config (if this
results in a "loaded gun" warning
then just press Enter), find the
line that says layout.css.dpi, and
modify its value (for example,
increasing the value from 134 to
268 will double the size). The
browser can then be quit and
restarted (or another address typed
in) and the text will be larger.
It would be nice if this were
documented somewhere. It would be
even nicer if Web provided hotkeys
to increase and decrease the size
automatically as Firefox does.
When the size is larger, some of
the pages in OLPC Library become
larger than the screen and will
require horizontal scrolling. It
will help if there were an option
to show only the frame on the
right-hand side; e.g. when reading
Wikipedia it is not really
necessary for a significant
fraction on the left of the screen
to be taken up by other options,
especially when the larger print
size can lead to a requirement for
horizontally scrolling the
right-hand frame. I missed
Firefox's "show only this frame"
option when testing this.
