Someone who arrives on that web site to find text too small won't be a customer, and won't likely complain, but simply take their money elsewhere (assuming they don't know how to disable page styles or enable accessibility mode). How many lost customers do you find it prudent to be responsible for? http://www.lighthouse.org/about/accessibility/bigtype_top10.htm > If you want large text, decrease your resolution. o_O http://css.nu/articles/font-analogy.html Fine detail[1] equates to quality. Your directive is to trade text size for quality, which is ludicrous, as is any implication at all that any user should have to make some specific personal adjustment of any kind in order to use your web page. Astute users don't change resolution to change text size, they change resolution to change quality, up to _improve_ it. If as a result they find that sizes are inappropriate, they use the adjustments provided for that purpose. Operating systems and browsers, tools, come with adjustability precisely so their owners/users can tailor behavior to their _personal_ requirements. Interfering with those adjustments by overriding or disregarding them is entirely rude and unnecessary. In addition, modern flat panel displays come with a native resolution, one which when deviated from at all reduces quality beyond that which would be expected from a resolution decrease alone. Most new computers have these flat panel displays, often with high native resolution, since most new computers currently sold are laptops.
