Hm ... just tried a couple of pages of that have absolute font sizes, but both work in Mac IE 5.1.7 (Mac OS 9.1). The text came out rather small with IE set to treat the display as 72 DPI, but I reset its DPI value to 96 and now it's OK. If this rumour were true, you'd expect a heck of a lot of sites to break on the Mac (as a great many use absolute font sizes) but I never saw any evidence of this. > I had > always heard that if you set pixel font sizes, IE users couldn't make > them larger. That is correct. Win IE 6 and earlier (maybe 7 also, never checked) does not scale absolute font sizes when you change the text size. ______________________________________________________________________ css-discuss [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://www.css-discuss.org/mailman/listinfo/css-d IE7 information -- http://css-discuss.incutio.com/?page=IE7 List wiki/FAQ -- http://css-discuss.incutio.com/ Supported by evolt.org -- http://www.evolt.org/help_support_evolt/
