Apple menu PreferencesAdvanced tab. Not everybody uses windoze. That is about user preferred settings (aka preferences). You can change those in any browser worth it weight in bytes. It won't necessarily override the fonts set in the user stylesheet. The question I answered to was about font-size-adjust, a css-3 property. BTW - On the (original) subject of testing the effect of various fonts, on OS X this is very easy: Open Fontbook.app and just disable/ enable the fonts you want. For some browsers, you'll need to restart before the changes take effect.

Hi Philippe, How can we encourage the other (non-Mozilla) browser manufacturers to add support for this very useful feature? If I understand your question, please download, install, and have a look at Opera (release version 9.4). The tool I think you're looking for can be found by going to: Tools/Preferences/Advanced/Fonts. This opens the extensive Desired font selection dialog box. Please have a look? Kind regards, Frank M.

It is part of CSS 3 http://www.w3.org/TR/css3-fonts/#font-size-props ... Now, the (rather substantial) disadvantage: As far as I can tell[3], font-size-adjust is only supported in recent Gecko browsers (e.g. Firefox 2). And for Firefox 2.0.0.x, only on Windows. But fear not, It is supported on all platforms in the upcoming Firefox 3.0. Cool. It is a very useful feature to produce decent quality text. Not only for the described case above, but also for example for the case where you have different fonts used within the same block of text (e.g. a paragraph with some code in). (decent quality text: because typography on the web is still a far cry from what it should be). Which leads me to my last question (on this topic, anyway): How can we encourage the other (non-Mozilla) browser manufacturers to add support for this very useful feature? 1. By using it ? 2. File bugs against your favourite Rendering Engine (I don't need to, It is already supported in my browser...:-)) for WebKit, it is bug 15257 http://bugs.webkit.org/show_bug.cgi?id=15257 To my surprise, nobody had requested that when I filed that bug.
