Another cool tool, which is free, is Screen Ruler. http://www.spadixbd.com/freetools/jruler.htm
It's only limitation IMO is that is can only measure in pixels, inches, picas and centimeters. The developer is the type of guy that would happily add other units however. Especially for the sake of accessibility. -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Paul Bennett Sent: Thursday, 22 September 2005 8:07 AM To: wsg@webstandardsgroup.org Subject: RE: [WSG] controlling font size in form text box 1. personally that font size is already borderline readable (and I have good vision) any smaller than 9px (some would say 10px) is getting into the squinty-eyes arena. 2. According to my screen callipers, the font size the designer wants is 7px. There's a reason it looks too small at this size - because it is. Your designer might have to just be happy with 9px IMHO.
