You have no clue who is browsing your website. The person could be color blind, or totally blind, or deaf or dyslexic, or motorically challenged, or just Old. Everyone sees a web page differently. Are they using 640x480, 800x600, 1024x768? True, it's nice to make a nice looking website but your goal has to be the information in the website - not the way the website looks. The design should be a secondary factor.
People that are interested in changing the size of the text on your website may be using screen magnifiers, or may be using personal style sheets to overide your styles. They may be hearing your webpage instead of reading it. They may have the pictures turned off.
The basic questions you need to ask are:
1) is all the information there without the pictures.
2) is all the information there without sound (if you have a narrarated flash intro- use subtitles)
3) is the information organized in a logical manner (using tables for design often breaks this)
3) lastly - does it look good in default installations of IE 5+, Mozilla 1.6+, Firefox, Opera, Safari
good luck

Hi people,
I'm looking for forums or mailing lists where I can discuss the standard
HTML/CSS font sizes in browsers in general, and FireFox in particular.
What bothers me is that I can't find a way to create a website that will
display a specific font size, comparing to other graphic elements (that
is, if the font size will grow, the graphic elements will grow too). I
can do it with Internet Explorer, but not with FireFox. For example,
look at [http://www.speedy.co.il/]. If you change the text size in
FireFox (make it bigger), it doesn't look good. The same problem is
also with Google ads (for example, look at
[http://www.speedywhois.com/]). I think this is either a bug that
should be fixed, or a bad standard that should be amended. Google ads
should look good with all browsers, and so should websites. If people
want to see text bigger, they would be able to do this by zooming in or
out of a page. I think the webmaster should have the ability to force a
specific text size, relevant to the graphics. It is possible to do it
with Internet Explorer, but not with FireFox. I didn't check other
browsers.
