Hi,
This is my first posting so please bear with me.
I am learning my way around drupal 5.1 (i started about a week ago & have already set up most of the content, news feeds, etc - so the basic stuff is almost ready) and loving it. I am in the process of setting up a website to highlight disability access issues and therefore, the website as such has to be as accessible as possible. This is my biggest reason for using drupal CMS as almost all themes are atleast WAI category 1 compliant. I am not a web designer and although, have previosly set up a similar website which I have done by using the readymade type-into kind of free templates, so I will appreciate if you are able to frame your responses in a step-by-step guide for dummies format - this will be highly appreciated.
The biggest problem that is daunting me at the moment is not knowing how to set up a text zooming option (something with an option to increase/ decrease font on the navigation bar) as also an option to increase/ decrease contrast that unregistered visitors to the website may be able to play around with. I have seen the text zooming option working on live drupal sites - but am not able to figure out the right module to do so. BTW I am using Drupal 5.1 (Garland Theme). I do know a lot of browsers now come with the option of zooming text but then I am concerned about people who do not use these ones. Also, I have not been able to find any drupal site that provides an option of changing contrast by unregistered visitors - so wonder if this is possible at all !
Any suggestions will be greatly appreciated - but, of possible, in step-by-step formats please.
Many thanks in advance.

Increasing contrast can be
Increasing contrast can be done with any PHP/Javascript based stylesheet switcher, integrating it into Drupal will require a slight modification to page.tpl.php and working through the theme's stylesheet and drupal.css to make the colour and size changes.
Increasing text size is best left to the browser, and I encourage you to educate your visitors on how to do this as well as using relative text sizes (not pt or px), but again any PHP based text size increaser's that uses varied stylesheets will work.
