Hello,

As monitors get higher resolutions and my eyes get older, I am finding
it increasingly difficult to read the hints and prompts from
vimperator. I've gone through the settings for both vimperator and
Firefox itself but have not found anything that affects the size of the
text used by vimperator, only that used for actual web pages.

Would somebody please point me in the right direction. I want to make
the hints and prompts much larger.

Many thanks,
eric

I managed (<blush>) to address the problem with the hints: needed to not
allow web pages to specify their own fonts. Whether this is a good
thing or not, I'll see, but at least I can now see the numbers to type
to go to another page.

However, all prompts are still in very small text size and I cannot read
them comfortably.

thanks again,

Okay, I have solved this eventually, with a lot of squinting... For
others who may find this useful, adding the line

:highlight Normal Normal color: darkred; background: white; font-size: 24pt;

to my .vimperatorrc allows me to read the command line and status
information comfortably.
