As an user-invokable zoom command, it will not cause any more breakage than providing a text zoom in the first place. It the user needs to zoom, (s)he probably cares more about zooming than about layout breakage. On the other hand, doing it by default would risk page authors taking counter measures, which would cause an arms race. I think features like this should be extremely easy for the user to invoke, but, by default, the UA should please page authors in order to avoid counter measures. And I think a font zoom has merit compared to an Opera-style "real" zoom. (Opera's zoom has merit, too.) Many times Opera's zoom causes horizontal scrolling where a font zoom does not. -- Henri Sivonen [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://hsivonen.iki.fi/ _______________________________________________ dev-tech-layout mailing list [email protected] https://lists.mozilla.org/listinfo/dev-tech-layout
