I strongly agree that this bug in the well known agent is undesirable, but I know many a designer who is very happy that it works this way. I've lost count of the times I've fought and usually lost with one of these people, telling me, "I don't want the user to change my design, EVERYBODY, Must See It In 10pt or whatever they chose...." It can be so frustrating.

While I agree that it is preferable not to use points, the fact that a certain well known user agent is unable to resize text when it is specified in points is a bug in that user agent. Other user agents do not have that bug, and it is clearly not the intended behaviour: <quote> 4.1 Configure text scale (P1) 1. Allow global configuration of the scale of visually rendered text content. Preserve distinctions in the size of rendered text as the user increases or decreases the scale. 2. As part of satisfying provision one of this checkpoint, provide a configuration option to override rendered text sizes specified by the author or user agent defaults. 3. As part of satisfying provision one of this checkpoint, offer a range of text sizes to the user that includes at least: * the range offered by the conventional utility available in the operating environment that allows users to choose the text size (e.g., the font size), or * if no such utility is available, the range of text sizes supported by the conventional APIs of the operating environment for drawing text. </quote> User Agent Accessibility Guidelines [EMAIL PROTECTED] is the right address to send your complaints.
