Below are the step-by-step instructions on how to increase the font size in Opera 8 / 9

Instructions

Opera can increase the size of images as well as text.

You can quickly increase or decrease the size of both text and graphics using the Keyboard.

Press ' + ' (in some versions you might need to press the ' Shift ' key as well) to increase size and the ' - ' to decrease text size. Each press will increase or decrease the size by 10%. Alternatively press 'Alt ' + ' V ' to bring up the view menu and then press ' Z ' to bring up the zoom options then use the up and down arrow keys to select the option you want followed by 'Enter' .

However the changes will not be remembered next time you open Opera.

To permanently increase or decrease the size of the text follow these steps:

Click on the ' Tools ' menu with the mouse and then click on ' Preferences ' or press ' Ctrl '+ ' F12 '.

Click on the ' Web pages ' tab with the mouse or press ' Ctrl ' + ' Tab ' to cycle through the tabs until ' Web pages ' is selected (see Fig 1 below).

Click on the ' Page Zoom ' option box and select your zoom size or press the ' Tab ' key twice to select the page zoom option box and use the up and down arrow keys to select your zoom size.

Click the ' OK ' button or press ' Enter ' to return to Opera.
