#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.
