Looking at your coding of your home page, I see plenty of<big>'s
and </big>'s but, at a casual glance, I don't see any base font
size declared, so if you have your SeaMonkey set up to use, say,
9pt font it would appear smaller if you had Chrome set up to use a
base font size of 12pt!!
Check Edit->Preferences->Appearance->Fonts to check your settings.
I just checked if I could get menu including appearance in an open
SeaMonkey page, and no, I cannot, I can go Edit-> preferences,
then nothing about appearances.
Patrick, when you click Edit, then click Preferences and new screen
should open up with several topics on the left, the top of these is
"Appearance" ... click the arrowhead to its left and four sub
sections will show up, the second of which is Fonts ...select it and
then you should see where you can change your font sizes.
Yes, you're right. If I opened SM in composer mode without opening
one of my pages, I could adjust text size from 16 down to 12, and
that made my pages I'd composed recently look OK, BUT, In Firefox,
text looked too small, so I had to zoom out - a bit - and this
increases size of images to being too large, and so zoom applies
itself to images when i damn well don't want it to. Still no ability
to display colors of text or background while in SM composer.
And when trying to change text colors in SM, one can select some
text, select black, and save the change and yet that text appears
blue in Chrome. So I go back and the only way to change colors of the
small part of text is by 'select all' and change all colors to
black, then change parts of text I want in different colors.
Programs are supposed to work so only a positive outcome is possible,
and use has consistent rules. So both Firefox and SM are still
primitive.
that's completely backwards thinking. You're not understanding that we
have complete control, as a user of a web browser, to change how web
pages appear, regardless of the authors intention. eg you have
specified Arial font dozens of times throughout the page, but if I do
not select "allow web pages to set fonts" in the SM Preferences, I will
not see Arial.
Also, using a horrendously outdated product like the discontinued
Composer section of SM to edit a pages code is not helping matters. If
you try to change a color or size using incorrect or outdated
syntax/code you cannot blame a modern browser for how it ends up.
