After reading Jakob Nielsen’s latest article on Style Sheets, I thought, okay, I know designers are guilty of fixing font sizes so that everybody without perfect screen vision won’t be able to adjust the size of the text they’re trying to read.
So how do we alter our style? We use relative (percentage) size specifications. Instead of setting the fonts on this website to 11px, I changed its size to 70%, and voila, it looks the same, but now you can change the font sizes in your browser. Simple as that!
Sure, it may not look so pretty anymore, but get your priorities right. If people can’t read the content on your site, then it defeats the purpose of having one.
