Larry, Glad to hear you solved your immediate problem ! :-) Re: Gmail compose font size, I don't think there's much you can do about it. What you see is what you get. For now it seems you have to find the right balance between the style of the font and its display size. Perhaps, though, someone may be working on a "Lab" feature to address this issue. ?? Also, for future reference, you (and/or your wife) could peruse the Email Discussions Forum. There are many threads on email providers, whether you're looking for a new one or just trying to solve a problem with one you have. They have lots of helpful people to assist you. There are a few provider-specific sections, too (for Runbox, Fastmail and Gmail -- though only the first two have contributions from actual representatives of those services).

Hello ginnyginny, How To Repair the Google and Gmail Bold Font Issue. http://www.groovypost.com/howto/howto/repair-the-google-and-gmail-bold-font-issue/ There's a few options here at the above link, try them and let us know. None of this works there's another fix we can try also. Joe

Can't help you with your email. I don't use Gmail or Yahoo anymore, to many problems. If you use FF look for "no squint" in the ad ons. You can adjust the font size there. The icon is always on my add on bar on the bottom, you can change the font size and the back ground color. I love the option to change the back ground color. Right now I have a orange sherbert color for a back ground. It saves eye strain caused by the bright white MS insists on using. The fonts on the tool bars are far to small for comfort. I change that right away when I set up my PC, it is a more stable change. In W 7 right click on the desktop, Personalize, click on window color, then on advance appearance. A menu will come up, click on the area you want the font or background color changed. I like this way better but some internet site fonts are to small and the no squint helps there. On my W 8 computer the font and background color change is under display.

Beam. Do you mean the whole structure including the passthrough opening is there now? I thought it was just the door. You mean, you're narrowing the opening now? [oh, you have no idea what a thrill it is that I remembered how to do this...] Yes... I guess. That long wall is currently holding a big, broad opening at too-high passthrough height. There is a "keen" or maybe that's meant to be "beam" (English is not our builder's native language] that's vertical and a beam high across the top of the passthough that ends in it, unfortunately not the entire length of the long wall. (does that make any sense at all?) On the elevation you can just make out a dotted line oblong that traces the current opening. The door would be cut down from it to the floor. And a chunk would be walled over on the left side. sink-closer-to-wall argument was about evaluating plllog v. rhome: sink across from fridge vs sink in corner. OK, here's what I think will happen. I'll reach into the fridge and get out an onion and celery and an eggplant and zucchini and broccoli and a bunch of carrots and kale and a bunch of chard and set these bit by bit on the counter to the right of the fridge. I'll close the fridge, grab the bunches and toss them in the sink. I'll scoop up the rest and plop them to the left of the sink. I'll wash the bunches, leave them drying in the sink (hey, maybe the reef should be to the left and not to the right) and slide to the left, toward the corner and the range and start chopping and dicing, etc. Then I'm already in position, once that's done, to swivel-and-plllop into something hot on the stove. Were the sink in the corner, instead, I'd be dumping all onto the island to the right of the sink, sliding to wash and then reaching and pulling into place somewhere to the left of the sink for prepping, or prepping to the right of the sink and then needing to truck the prepped stuff around the sink to its left and closer to the range. I think this feels more awkward.... I'm getting confused... I must have posted something way-wacky. I don't think I suggested sticking the Stages in the island. I think that would take up the whole island! But the sink I had thought to add in the island also includes an integrated reef; it seemed like a good feature to have in an island, as suggested by juliekcmo (I think that's her name; apologies if I have it wrong). It does seem as if the e-granite harmony sink I was thinking about might just be too small, rhome. Maybe I need to skip the integrated drainboard though on an island it seemed very sensible. I could look into grooves on the island top, but that seems likely to be expensive. I can also just carry on as per usual with spread towels and drying racks as necessary. I suppose forgoing the integrated reef permits more flexibilty to dry to either right or left of the sink. And I guess if push comes to shove, I'd rather the limited space be used on fully submerged sink than half-useful sink/wet-drying space.
