in perl: "fs" means "font size" for use in a font tag:
sub tinyfs { $ENV{HTTP_USER_AGENT} =~ /win/i ? "0" : "-2" }
sub smallfs { $ENV{HTTP_USER_AGENT} =~ /win/i ? "1" : "-1" }
sub normalfs { $ENV{HTTP_USER_AGENT} =~ /win/i ? "2" : "+0" }
sub mediumfs { $ENV{HTTP_USER_AGENT} =~ /win/i ? "3" : "+1" }
sub largefs { $ENV{HTTP_USER_AGENT} =~ /win/i ? "4" : "+2" }
The above font sizes were chosen as basically equivalent
in size on the same monitor. Thus, to generate a largish title:
my $titlefonttag = "<font size=".largefs.">";
:
my $title = "${titlefonttag}This is a Big Title</font>";
and voila ... $title displays approx same size in
Windoze and other browsers.
