I wish I had known that feature before, it would have been nice,
however, in Thunderbird, that only works in the viewing area. The basic
font size for the rest of the screen remains smaller. In Kmail,
everything increases. Additionally, I want to use more of KDE. I have
never learned all its possibilities. Thanks for the help though. That
Ctrl + does work in Firefox, though. That is great.
