Jacques,
Thank you very much for the research and links! As I mentioned in the original
email, we're not at the Jira patch stage yet. Right now I'm asking for
suggestions for CSS coding guidelines. Once those are established, THEN we will
approach the Jira patch issue.
So, based on your research another CSS coding guideline would be:
Avoid specifying font sizes in pixels. Doing so will cause resizing problems in
some browsers.

Adrian,
As promised :
Problems : IE does not allow to resize fonts formatted in pixels. This causes
problems in number of cases depending of screen
resolution, visual deficiency, etc.

Facts : IE has a 80% of market share. Micro$oft does not consider the problem
above a bug (ie does not wan to fix it)
Solution :
In a first attemps I looked at
http://www.dyn-web.com/dhtml/sizefont/index.php#examples which seemed a good
solution (notes the + -
R blue buttons at left) but this a commercial package.
After I found this solution which seems to work well without bothering with
specific zoom tool (smart, clear, concise :o) :

Adrian would you mind create a Jira issue for this topic with your explanation
and patch and this fix ?
TIA
