Browser Fonts

[Guest]

I've noticed that every now and then the fonts on my browser show up really large (IE6), other times they are as they should be viewed. This throws off how the pages are viewed. Even the msn index page is in large print at times. However, their tables move with the type. Why is this? Can it be prevented? How do you make the image expand so that it view correctly without broken spaces?

It's a browser function. If you're using a wheel mouse, hold down the Ctrl key and scroll the wheel up or down it will change the font size. Or you can manually do it with View/Text Size (if I remember correctly).

Unless the font size is set by a style sheet. Then the mouse wheel won't work.

But only if using a fixed size font such as px or pt. ;-)

 

[Bob Lehmann]

Or only if using accessability impaired browsers such as IE. It is nice to
see, though, that *some* pages on MSN have been fixed.

yes, but what if you're using; xsmall, small, medium, large, jumbo? then the wheel adjustment should work right?

If the font size is specified by a CSS file, the only fonts that will change
are the ones that are set for specific words on the page so that they
override the CSR file.
Try it here: http://www.95isalive.com/

There are only 2 items on the page that will change size.

[Jack Brewster]

But that's because you've specified font sizes using px in your stylesheet.
If you used a relative unit such as em or %, all the text would resize. For
example:
http://www.nteaonline.org

Only the text at the top (the site title) is fixed. I did that to make sure
the top header section remains the same size. Other than that, it's all
liquid.

yah, I overstand.
But, is 95 really alive?

Jack,

When you design with %'s how do you know what they are equal to visually. Sheesh how do I say this coming from print media oriented brainset? You know what I mean?

I've not used %'s yet.

Rob,

I don't use % throughout my sites. I just use it once in the body to adjust
everything downward then I use em to specify font sizes. I pretty much
follow the process detailed here:
