Changing Font Size

You can easily scale all texts on our website, i.e. you can display them in a smaller or larger font size:

There are two ways of increasing or decreasing the font size:

  and choose the desired font size.
• Some browsers also allow you to press the key combination <+> or <-> to increase or decrease font size.
• You may also use the symbols in the top bar:

clicking on this symbol will scale up the font by one unit

clicking on this symbol will scale down the font by one unit

clicking on this symbol will reset the font to its original size

PDF-Documents

Since browsers only permit unsatisfactory display of diagrams, long lists and longer texts, we provide the option of downloading such documents in pdf format. This format is independent of operating systems, but will require an additional program, e.g. Adobe Reader. If Adobe Reader is not installed on your computer you can download it free of charge from the manufacturer's website.

You can either open pdf documents directly or save them on your hard disk:

• To open a pdf file, simply click on the link in the text. This will open up a new window where the file will be loaded. Depending on file size and internet access used, this may take a few seconds or minutes.
• In order to save a pdf file, right-click on the link in the text. Select "Save in..." and then select the folder where the file is to be saved.

If you are looking for something in particular, you can use the search function. Enter one or more terms in the search window at the top right hand corner, and then click on the button with the magnifying glass symbol ("Start Search"). All pages of this website will be searched for these terms.
