Remember device independence? So it's still important to design for large font-sizes. I believe i read somewhere that the WCAG 2 guidelines recommends up to 200% font scaling. That's Ctrl+ six times in Firefox.
>From a personal perspective. I need to have larger text to read articles and it annoys me when the whole page zooms and goes horizontally off the page. Mike.

Zooming is present on the majority of modern browsers, so where does this leave elastic layouts, and em's? Should we still develop sites that grow should the user want to increase the text size? Even though it's the lower browsers that do that? I've been out of the scene for a while, so I've lost touch with the current practices and conventions. ******************************************************************* List Guidelines: http://webstandardsgroup.org/mail/guidelines.cfm Unsubscribe: http://webstandardsgroup.org/join/unsubscribe.cfm Help: memberh...@webstandardsgroup.org ******************************************************************* ________________________________ This is a confidential email.
