Yes, I know I should use relative font sizes, but for this particular case I
require a fixed font size. I want the title of a button to appear in front
of a background image that cannot be resized.
I haven't used fixed fonts in a long time and realised for the first time

If you mean can you stop text resizing in Firefox even though the user
types CTRL+ or CTRL- , than the short answer is No.

I guess that's fair enough. Might have to revert to images for this one.
Thanks!

Hi
The user can override your font settings on any browser, as they should.
For instance, I stop people making text smaller than 12px (because of
my eyesight), which makes those 1px font size workarounds for image
replacement look quite funny.

You can't.
The point of using a background image is that the image is purely
decorative, not content.
In this case, I think the IMG tag needs to be used.

If you mean a *css* background image than it has no semantic meaning and
therefore needs no alt information (nor could you add any alt
information to a css created background image if you wanted to anyway)

Thank you for your reply. I'm not the one who said to put alt
information on a background image, redux was the one who made the
statement. (I'm in agreement with you,)

To go with CSS rather than Javascript, you can use a transparent image and
swap its background.

It was my understanding that the subject of this thread was fonts in
front of background images. Therefore by logic any talk about images
within the context of this thread whould be implied to be about said
background images.

Not necessarily. As Andreas was referring to
