David is correct in that people with poor eyesight need higher resolution and then magnify the text.
I have just had to write an app for viually impaired, and that is the way it is done.

As my eyes have gotten older, I've generally left my resolution the same (1280x1024, 1280x800 on my laptop) or increased it (1440x1152 at the office) and INCREASED my text sizes (not just for the browser). The higher resolutions give better rendering of details, such as serifs on text, and the larger text sizes keep it readable. I do this because when I'm working on things, I like to have as much on the screen as I can get, and lowering the resolution decreases the amount of information I can put there. -- David [EMAIL PROTECTED] authenticity, honesty, community ______________________________________________________________________ css-discuss [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://www.css-discuss.org/mailman/listinfo/css-d List wiki/FAQ -- http://css-discuss.incutio.com/ Supported by evolt.org -- http://www.evolt.org/help_support_evolt/ ______________________________________________________________________ css-discuss [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://www.css-discuss.org/mailman/listinfo/css-d List wiki/FAQ -- http://css-discuss.incutio.com/ Supported by evolt.org -- http://www.evolt.org/help_support_evolt/
