Hartmut,
THANK YOU!!! That’s a BIG improvement (pun not intended but allowed to
stand)!
I just visited several problem
websites and they are MUCH better.
On the xprize.com site, when the font is increased, the ledding doesn’t
seem to increase so the lines overlap – still, it’s actually readable with IE.
(I’ve already personally remonstrated with the xprize.com site design team.)
(Kindly forward my rude
comments to your designers that want to make unreadable websites. Please also inform them that 17”
monitors and 1024x768 are the norm with the cheapo systems and those of us who
are serious are getting 19” monitors and 1280x1024 and they’d better design for
us.)
In the mean time, my tiny
type problem is solved with IE.
(If anyone has a better solution, please pass that along, too.)
Now, Microsoft Guys, can
you tell us anything about those supposedly non-corrected, known security
flaws?

Ed.
I am in the Website Building Business
since long.
The font issue is something we developers
are aware of , but we fight against Designers who want their designs exactly to
their specs, even when the product becomes unusable.
So with the help of style sheets font
sizes are fixed to fit into the designed pages no matter what.
What you can do in Internet Explorer to
disable the fixed font sizes is:
Under Tool ---> Internet options click
on the Accessibility button lower right.
Click Ignore font sizes specified on web
pages.
Problem solved.
You will notice though that some designed
pages will not look as intended, but who cares as long as you can read them.
