If your fonts were like 2/3 or 3/4 the size you think that they should be, I would suggest 
that you might want to set your screen resolution to 100 DPI (which is best for 1024 x 
768) or higher.  But that isn't going to help if they are like 1/10 what they should be.

This might be a style sheet issue, or the HTML code for the page contains a font size.

I presume that clicking the: "Increase Font Sizes" button on the main toolbar doesn't do 
anything.

Have you tried this in Mozilla?  If it works OK there and its only Yahoo mail that you 
have a problem with, I would suggest that it is a bug related to the specific HTML or CSS 
code for that web page.
