font size in xternal .css

[bazz]

I have pretty well sorted the size of the text in my website, but I have fund that a friend of mine has his windows settings (font size) increased. When he looks at my ages thorugh his browser, my text is larger and page breaks are in the wrong place.

Is there any way I can enforce the text to be the normal 96dpi size?

thank you

You're looking for the wrong solution, you shouldn't be trying to override the user's choice in font sizes because the user may need that larger font size in order to be able to read the text (not everyone has perfect vision after all). Instead you should look at the rest of your code to see how it can be altered to reasonably preserve the look you want regardless of the font size.

Fair comment, though it is still interesting that you say that.

What I would prefer to do is, once my site is completed with the design appropriate for those with OK eyesight, is to use the stylesheet control to quickly create a copy of the site with sizes changed for the less visually capable.

Maybe this is a sledgehammer to crack a nut, but I thought (yeh bad thing to do :) ), that I could create the optimum presentation for each category of viewer, rather than a compromise for both.

what do you guys think?

You could say font-size: 80%; or something like that, so it is relative to the user's font-size.
