Safari for Windows - Prevent Fonts from Displaying Below a Selected Size

2. Select "Preferences" from the pop-up menu.

Or, press Ctrl + , to open the Preferences window.


3. The "Preferences" window appears. Select "Advanced".

4. Next to "Universal Access", check "Never use font sizes smaller than".
