Windows "Big fonts"

[Borgtex]

I supose that the answer will be "no" :( but, anyway:

Is there any method to know if the user is using "big fonts"? (not in IE, but in the general windows display properties)

I have a customer that uses 1024x768 with big fonts in every computer of his network, so my beautiful styles and layout look weird (horrible in some cases) :mad:

how are you controlling the font size?

Borgtex...

Take a look at A List Apart (http://www.alistapart.com) :)

Apparently we should be using pixels, not point sizes for our fonts. Before I discovered the ALA site a few months ago, I never knew that font point size interpretations varied so much between systems!

I think you will find that, if you stick to pixels and not points, the fonts will not resize. Well, I *think*... don't blame me if I am wrong! :D

PS - I am of course assuming that you are currently using something like points :)

Yes,
this is what i was getting at :)

Aaarj! Stupid question :o. I always use pixels, but looking the css again, I discovered that some of the "general" fonts didn't had the size attribute, only type and color.

Thank you. I sometimes need somebody to see the obvious ;)
