[Nancy]

Hello,
When I view pages on a different monitor the text looks different. Could
you please advise what might make this happen.

TIA,

What might this happen?"

Did you use a special font on your web site. If so the font may not be
installed on the other computer.
The other computer can only display the fonts it has installed.

Hi Nancy.

Two probabilities:

The page was viewed with font sizes set differently in the browser.

The font used on the web page was not installed on the computer where it
looks different.

Site visitor's must have the same fonts that you use on your page, installed on their machines.

Is there a way to make the text look the same no matter the font settings or screen resolution?

 

[Thomas A. Rowe]

Use CSS to set the font size, however you can not control how the font appears based on the user's
screen resolution

However keep in mind that user will adjust font size based on their ability to read the content of
your web site, and if you limit that, then they will leave and never return.

There's a big difference too between Macs and PCs, isn't there?

Is there a way to make the text look the same no matter the font settings

or screen resolution?
