I’ve just visited your site in FF and IE6 for the first time.
The text size is the same in each, and perfectly readable (it looks to be Medium)
Although the font-size is specified in the CSS body tag, it is not further defined in your stylesheet (from a quick glance at it) so you could, for instance, add that:
p {
margin: 0 0 1em;
padding: 0;
line-height: 1.5em;
font-size: .8em; <———-add that sort of thing
}
or use a %
p {
margin: 0 0 1em;
padding: 0;
line-height: 1.5em;
font-size: 90%;
}
bearing in mind it will be a % of whatever you set in body.
Pingu rocks 🙂
I can’t read the posts (it’s so tiny), so I guess you’re experimenting with the .8em like Podz suggested, which makes it .8em from .8 em… 🙂
My monitor is 19″. Text-size set to normal.
It is possilbe to set your text with px instead of em. So that no matter what size they choose in IE atleast (small-large) the text well always look the same. This is advised against with good css but I use it so that I dont’ have people complaining they can’t see text when they don’t know any better and have the text size to small.
Lawtai, but what about your visitors with a 800×600 screen who will see a font ‘as big as a cow’ as we say here in Holland, or visitors with a big 22″ display who have to stick their nose to the screen?
I think it’s better to use em’s or %.
heh well, I just tested my site in 800×600 and I can’t say that it’s “huge” compared to the rest of the text on my screen. Although I can’t say how it looks like on a 22″ display. I agree it’s better to use em’s or %, but I just didn’t feel like having to deal with people who aren’t too computer literate asking me why my font was too small and turning them away from viewing my site.
