Many Web sites, including the FST Web, use Cascading Style Sheets (CSS) to control the size and colour of text on the screen. In order for you to manually resize the text in your browser, you will have to either disable style sheets or use the browser's Text Zoom feature, or both.
To begin, please select your Operating system and browser. You will then link down the page to instructions on how to change the text size in your browser.
