What you are saying is illogical in any event. Font-size defined by em
or % will only be different if the user decides that he/she needs to
increase size of the default browser settings. Web design is different
from the print environment and too many folks seem to forget that.
I fully understand that it all depends on user configuration. I know
that browser gives user possibility to resize text. This one I can
easily test on my own and check how my layout would behave. I`m also not
interested in creating pixel perfect layout. But we all know that in
real world, when working on real project sometimes you get layout done
by someone from outside and you must do a website from it. It`s fine if
there are minor differences at the end but it`s really bad if you
deliver product which doesn`t behave like expected. You get paid for
what people want from you. I often try to stay as close as possible to
the whole concept of designer`s work. So far I`ve been doing so with
pixels and received no complaints. I want to have my clients and users
happy, no matter what browser, monitor, and resolution they are using.
This is my concern, not theirs to give product which works well (not
only text, layout as well). I think using ems or % can give some users
more and that`s why I`d like to go this way. However, must remain fine.
I also can`t stop using pixels at all. Many layouts are centered with
fixed width like 759px or so. This is a project to realize. You can do
it or we can find other guy who will do it as we like. The choice is yours.
So I must set pixels for the layout but I still can use em/% for fonts
and everything connected to text like line-heights (inside pixel sized
box of course). I know this is not perfect but please stay more reality
which is also not perfect.
Good. Ems, percentage = relative font sizes = can be easily resized even
in IE.
I guess pixel-sized text can also be "resized" but not in IE.
Thanks Georg for links. I`ll read it and try to make some tests on real
example.
Regards,
Mike
