You're trying to treat symptoms instead of curing disease. If you incorporate resolution independence (size nothing except possibly the tiniest of margins, borders or padding in px or pt, and use 1em as established by the visitor instead as your basic measuring unit) users will rarely need to change font size. FWIW, most places I've seen a 3 size chooser, the choices are between subatomic, microscopic, and tiny. -- No Jesus - No peace , Know Jesus - Know Peace Team OS/2 ** Reg.
