Hi Del, I just recently dealt with a client asking for a similar thing. I know this isn't your question and you're sort of acting as a go-between for a client request, so I'm gonna be kinda harsh (but please keep in mind I'm not directing it at you). Clients always find a friendly way to phrase it: "How do I prevent..." or "What's the best way to ensure...." Really what they're asking is "How do I FORCE a user to..." The short answer is, of course, you can't. The long (unwanted) answer is that you shouldn't. I don't want people messing with my browser. If you embed your phone number in your header graphic and make it 7px tall, I don't want you to be able to lock my browser into viewing that image at exactly the same size you coded it. I NEED to be able to zoom it so that I can call customer support and complain about the small font size in your header graphic. I believe in educating my clients as much as I can whenever possible and I know you do, too. My advice would be to offer the client all the reasons why pinning a graphic to a certain size is not advantageous to the user and will therefore be most likely unachievable (and almost certainly frowned upon). Aaaaand, I'm also not really aware of any CSS method for achieving this. You could of course detect font size adjustment with JavaScript and then adjust the size of the image accordingly, but I don't envy you that task.
