Cannot resize font using IE6 1

[stoxguy]

I cannot resize the font at all using IE6. I've dropped down the View menu to "text size" and clicked on the next size up, does not work. If you are over 40, yes that's me, you CANNOT read that damn 8 point font that some moron web developer set the web page's font size to. Why can't I resize the font? I'm trying to read all kinds of financial web sites and most, if not all are set in that crappy 8 point font and will NOT resize using IE6. What is going on that IE6 won't resize the font, but if I use Mozilla Firefox I can resize the font. Someone call me a lawyer 'cause this stinks.

Have you tried this?

IE/ Tools/ Internet Options/ General tab (and down at the bottom of the page), Accessibility/ Formatting and uncheck the "Ignore font sizes specified on web pages"

Specifies whether you want Internet Explorer to always use the default font size you choose. You can set the default font size on the General tab by clicking the Fonts button. If the author of a Web page chooses a different default font size, the settings you choose here will override it. You cannot change the size or color of graphics.
