• Firefox 1.5 or later: Go to View->Text size->Increase; OR, hold down Control, and press "+"
• Internet Explorer 6 or later: Go to View->Text size->Larger(or, Largest)
• Opera 9 or later : Go to View->Zoom-> (select %); OR, press "+" for a 10% increase.

Download the modified Vrinda font from here. (Do not click direct. Just Right click->Save link As...) .


Then Replace this file with the original Vrinda font in your fonts folder of control panel.

That's all!
