Maintaining font size in browser

[Greg]

Is there any way to force, or maintain, a font size in
various browsers. I know MS IE has the ability to view
differce text size, however I would like it to be of
a "fixed" size. I've search this site but cannot find
any thing that addresses my question.

Any tips would greatly be appreciated.

Thanks,
Greg

No.

You may have slightly more success if you specify font
measurements in terms of of "px" or "pt" but ultimately,
the Web visitor has final control.

It's really not a good idea to do so anyway. You can lose visitors if they
cannot read your text easily. So many sites have set themselves at 11px and
I just have to pass them by for any extended reading.
