On Mon, May 30, 2005 at 04:10:23PM +0800 I heard the voice of Erich Dollansky, and lo! it spake thus: > > I would like to have bigger characters.

Well, this is one of those ongoing eternal flamewars, now isn't it? :p px is better than pt on screen, because pt is interpreted differently on some platforms. I'm on the side of "don't use absolute units" myself. I *KNOW* how big I want my fonts to be, which is why I have my browser set like I do. That doesn't make it right for YOU. Size relative, so your headers are a bit bigger, your asides a bit smaller, etc. Don't try and tell me what size I want my fonts. -- Matthew Fuller (MF4839) | fullermd@over-yonder.net Systems/Network Administrator | http://www.over-yonder.net/~fullermd/ On the Internet, nobody can hear you scream.
