NS6 and controlling font size?

[kevin_m]

I am working on a site that is pretty intricate design wise and stupidly I didn't check font resizing on NS6 until recently and I am almost done.

I am using px in my .css code to specify the font size. But I can't seem to get a good combination to stop resizing in NS6. Is there any work arounds for this.

Thanks!

Why would you want to stop a user from resizing the fonts?

Or am I misinterperting the question?

[kevin_m]

Probably not the best descision in hind site, but there is a small section of text I am using and I would like it not to be resized, because of the way it works with the design.

Go with the flow baby!

What if I can't see your site properly because I'm poor sighted?

You can't do *anything* about it in NS6, I hopw IE will follow suit someday!

Well, Nick_W's right, no can do in Mozilla-based browsers like NS6. Best you can do is suggest fonts, and place the ! important declaration to override an user-defined stylesheet.

I'd suggest you not worry over it. Users that frequently resize text are used to sites looking like crap.

...Unless they use Opera which ZOOMS all the content, not just the text. Now tell me, who was truly thinking ahead? ;)

I suspect this will be the feature the other browser makers will adopt next. Mozilla/Netscape is already borrowing from Opera. Good idea!

Second best Opera feature (after CTRL-SHIFT-click to open in the background). I find that fonts almost always look too small for me in IE - WW is an exception thankfully and I hate fixed-size fonts because I can't change them in IE. In Opera, no problem, even if the text is actually a gif. Excellent.

As for the original question... If I visit a site and it has a small fixed-width font (and the two seem to go hand in hand), I usually just take my surfing elsewhere. I spend enough time staring at a screen without squinting too.

Yes, me to, I can't be arsed to mess about with stuff I have to work at to see. Theirs loads of stuff on the web and I won't read fixed font sites on general principle!
