ABSTRACT:
The invention relates to a method and apparatus for adjusting the text height within a displayed image. A preferred absolute text height is input to the computer system by a user and is stored. When text images are displayed by the computer system, a selected section of text is determined. The stored preferred absolute text height is then retrieved, and the displayed text images are scaled by a scale factor such that the selected text section is displayed at the preferred absolute text height.
