They killed off the appearance feature in Safari 2 or 3 years ago. Are you using Version 8.0.3 (10600.3.18)?

Looks like I'm way behind. The screenshot was of Safari 5.1.10 on Mac OS 10.6.8. Probably time to think about a new machine.

On the other hand, the fact that they got rid of the ability to change the font without using Tinkertool or defaults write or writing a user style sheet or similar raises the question of how many other such regressions may exist. Sheesh! Maybe it's time to switch to Linux.

Yep I am running Yosemite 10.10.2 for what I do Tiger is good enough but I have delusions of doing something greater.

I put together a Mac Mini G4 a year or so ago have it running OS X with Classic installed in order to run HyperCard and AppleWorks 5. I started it up and opened a stack and stared at it for a while and shut it down and turned it off, back in the closet with it.

I use EyeTV HD to record and edit TV shows to make them family friendly, browse the web and use mail to get spam and delete it.

That about sums up my use anymore.

You can’t change the font styles, it seems, but under Preferences->Advanced you can enforce a minimum font point size, at least.
