Thanks for the reply ....
Although it's been several months ago, I have experimented
a bit with the StyleSheets component in the KDE Control Center ....
I'm sure that this could be used to successfully
affect the the style of the pages that are *displayed* on-screen
in Konqueror to use larger fonts and that the result of then
subsequently *printed* pages would be large enough to read
for someone with old and tired eyes like mine ....
However, the problem is that the *displayed* pages are all OK,
but when *printed* somehow small fonts seem to override ....
Changing the default KDE stylesheet would change displays
that are already OK only for the benefit of a print job ....
The stanard CSS method that I know about to use one set of attributes
for *display* and another for *print* is the method I used in the
temporary quick-fix that I posted earlier, modifying the pages I
wanted to print with ....
<style>
@media print { body { .... } }
<style>
In this way, only the *printed* pages are affected,
but the *displayed* pages remain the same ....
This method is handy for example if displayed pages
are coded to display light text on dark background
but are to be printed with the colors inverted ....
However, neither this method nor affecting the style
by modifying the KDE style sheets should have to be used
to expect that fonts don't shrink when pages are printed ....
