Adrian, Did you read me ? ;o)
Actually AFAIK at this day there are *2 solutions* to fonts resize problem. 1. Todd Fahrner's : http://www.alistapart.com/stories/sizematters/ (btw this link was in http://www.thenoodleincident.com/tutorials/box_lesson/font/ a pretty complete abstract ! ;o) 2. The one I proposed based on Pixel http://www.webmasterworld.com/forum83/8396.htm Personnaly I prefer the 2d because it's smart, clear and concise :o) But you cant avoid font resize problem, even without using pixels... An interesting book to read : http://www.zeldman.com/dwws/ (I only read the 1st edition in french it's a bit verbose but there are plenty of ideas and tricks) Remember : accessibility concerns 15% of persons in a way or another... Who is not interested by 15% of market share ? And there are more and more countries that edict law about that, for instance : http://www.quirksmode.org/blog/archives/2007/01/new_dutch_acces.html http://www.webstandards.org/2007/01/15/the-dutch-embrace-web-standards/ Jacques From: "Adrian Crum" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> > Jacques, > > Thank you very much for the research and links!
