font smaller than size 1

[seeeker]

I'm using FP2000.

If I manually change the font size to -1 or smaller, the font does not
get smaller than +1.

How can I code so that the font size is smaller than 1?

Thanks!

Not possible
What would smaller than 1 be?

Unreadable?

a black hole that would suck up all the rest of your type?

Can you describe why you want such a small font? Generally, anything as
small as 1 is practically illegible on-screen (and I'm fairly young, with a
current prescription on my glasses and really big monitors). Perhaps what
you're trying to do can be accomplished another way? If you can provide a
URL for the page you're working on, or, perhaps, a page that gives an
example of what you're trying to do, that may help.

and size "1" is small enough at 800x600 but at 1024x768 would be microscopic.

I believe the rule of thumb is to have a font size of not less than 10pt ('size
2' in FP)

Thanks for all the replies.

This page isn't mine, but the text on the left is a smaller font than
the text on the right, which is 1.

So how to get text as small as on the left, is the question.

 

[Murray]

Actually, the other rule of thumb is to never use print font metrics on the
web. Points would qualify there.... 8)

 

[Murray]

Actually, the font on the left is styled with this CSS -

..links {
FONT-SIZE: 11px;
COLOR: #003399;
FONT-FAMILY: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;
TEXT-DECORATION: none
}

 

[seeeker]

Thanks for that info.

Can I somehow use the px measurement unit without using CSS, in other
words, directly in the font tag?

 

[Murray]

No. If you are using font tags, your only options are the undesirable
points metric, or the OK size names (large, larger).
