If the default text size is ugly and difficult to read, we should change it. I don't want the site to look shit by default and I don't believe for a second that anyone from the creative team to marketing to legal to editorial to the ceo is going to agree with you on this one. I don't really see why it's an issue for someone with sight/reading difficulties to increase their default text-size. What you're saying is along the lines of saying all stairs should be ramps, just in case someone with a wheel chair comes along. I've never seen someone in a wheel chair complain that stairs exist if there's a ramp as well. > Here's the real problem: > http://members.ij.net/mrmazda/evang-part.html#note2 But that's not really a problem, is it, if you follow the percentage and ems route? -- Tom Hamshere ****************************************************** The discussion list for http://webstandardsgroup.org/ See http://webstandardsgroup.org/mail/guidelines.cfm for some hints on posting to the list & getting help ******************************************************
