Font & Color Preferences  
 

Font & Color Preferences allows you to choose which fonts and colors are used to display HTML pages.

Choose proportional font - This is the font and size used for display of normal HTML text. Size and style information specified in HTML documents will alter the display of this font; for example, with the default font of Lucida Grande Regular 14.0, a <FONT SIZE=-1> tag will cause OmniWeb to display Lucida Grande Regular 11.3.

Choose fixed-width font - This font is used when an HTML page calls for a fixed-width font (such as with the <PRE> and <TT> tags), in text elements of HTML forms, and when displaying plain text documents.

Limit page fonts to a minimum of... - No fonts on web pages will be smaller than this size. (Useful for keeping pages readable even when the base font size is small.)

Limit page fonts to a maximum of... - No fonts on web pages will be larger than this size.

Smooth text larger than... - By default, Mac OS X uses antialiasing to make text larger than 10 points appear smoother. OmniWeb allows you to specify a smaller cutoff if you like small fonts to be smoothed as well. If this setting is changed, OmniWeb must be quit and restarted for the change to take effect.

Colors:
Web page background color - the background color used for all pages.
Web page text color - used for text in web pages.
Link color - used for the text of clickable links.
Visited link color - used for the text of links you've clicked already.
Active link color - a link turns this color while you're clicking on it.

Web pages can (and often do) specify their own color sets that will override these color settings, unless you check the Always use these colors box.
