touché Mark ;) It is a problem that Windows buries its accessibility options so deep. I think it would be better that he could walk into a net cafe and be able to easily changes the OS font-size. However since this isn't the case, the ability to change it in the browser IS the next best thing...
Personally I am not going to use anything but relative font sizes in future site design, however I think it can be a steep learning curve for an amateur web designer when pixel sizes seem to be consistent in all browsers and so much simpler to use. -----Original Message----- From: Mark Stanton [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Wednesday, December 10, 2003 2:19 PM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: RE: [WSG] Re: px em pt ??? I get your point Miles - but why should your grandfather NOT be able to walk into an internet cafe and use the 15" monitor at 1024x768 with IE 5 on it? Accessibility means removing as many obstacles as possible.
