Window Fonts

[Monty]

Hi All,

I know this has been ask 10000times before..
My web site looks fine in small font if user is using Small Fonts, but is totally screwed up if user is using Large Fonts. I have read in some forums that there is no solution to this problem, but i am having hard time to acknowledge that. Is there any way to detect what fonts user is using? Or any other way to solve this problem.


TIA

Simple :) Use stylesheets to define the font size. The font will stay the same size no matter what text size the users have their browsers set to

<style>
body{
font-size:10px;
}
</style>

I have heard, though, that using something like:

font-size: 12px

is bad because even though it may look nice on 800x600 and even 1024x768, once you get into the big LCD screens that have native resolutions at around 1600x1200 it is almost imporible to read 12px font. Anyone encountered this problem? Just thought i may as well ask...even though I usually use pixels for font sizes;) !

Thanks For Your Reply Nightfire
But that didn't helped.
My website address is www.saswin.com.

Maybe i am doing something wrong.

:) You forgot to change this:

.sasfont
{
FONT-FAMILY: MS Sans Serif;
font-size:xx-small;
COLOR:#336699;
white-space: normal;
line-height: normal ;
}

If you leave it as it is, the one already uploaded. That's working fine for me. I tried smallest and largest text view and nothing moved out of place :)

And u have set your font by
right clicking on desktop->Properties->Settings->Advance..->And changing the font size there and not in u'r browser by goint to
View->Text Size

Dude if it looks fine on u'r browser then i guess m out of luck
But thanx bud for your time..
