Abstract
The most-frequently-used font size on a Web page acquired from a server unit is determined. The font size is changed so that the font of the most-frequently-used font size (Sdominant) may take a preset optimum font size (Sopt). At the same time, the fonts of the remaining font sizes are changed as much (Sdiff=Sopt−Sdominant) as in the font size changing process.

An information output apparatus comprising:
- a size memory configured to prestore a specified font size, a minimum font size and a maximum font size for text items included in display data;
- a display configured to display the display data;
- and
- a processor configured to execute:
- size distribution extraction process for extracting frequency of use for each of font sizes of the text items included in the display data;
- size determination process for determining a font size whose frequency of use is high among the frequencies of use of the font sizes extracted by the size distribution extraction process;
- size difference calculation process for calculating a font size difference by subtracting the font size with a high frequency of use determined by the size determination process from the specified font size prestored by the size memory;
- size changing process for changing the font sizes of the text items included in the display data within a range between the minimum font size and the maximum font size on the basis of the difference between the specified font size and the font size with a high frequency of use calculated by the size difference calculation process, and
- displaying process for causing the display to display the display data with the text items in the font sizes changed by the size changing process.
