That *may* be true for most Web pages. But there are a *lot* of Web pages for which that's not true, and on which the fonts therefore end up unreadably small for many users. Just because the assumption is true for most Web pages does not make it safe. That's the problem I'm trying to solve. Examples of pages for which it is not true (easy to find by setting a large font size pref and looking for pages where the text is small) are: http://www.cnn.com/ http://espn.go.com/ http://www.lemonde.fr/ http://www.timesonline.co.uk/global/ http://www.iht.com/ http://www.abc.es/ http://www.elpais.es/ http://www.haaretz.co.il/ http://www.youtube.com/ http://www.myspace.com/ http://www.flickr.com/ http://www.technorati.com/ http://www.netflix.com/ http://www.apple.com/ http://www.ibm.com/us/ http://www.dell.com/ http://www.hp.com/ http://www.toshiba.com/tai-new/ http://www.sony.com/index.php?pref=noflash http://www.panasonic.com/ http://www.nhc.noaa.gov/ http://www.house.gov/ http://www.senate.gov/ (I was hitting well over 50% of the computer hardware and consumer electronics company sites that I tried; probably around or under 50% for the other categories of sites I was trying.) -David -- L.
