Hi,ThomasGR wrote:Also I want to add that MS exlorer is not able to make the letter look larger. Whatever arrangement I use, the letter size is the same. I think it's a severe problem.
IE can't make the fontsize larger (View -> Text Size) because it is typically configured to honor the sizes defined by the web page itself.
You can change this as follows:
Tools -> Internet Options -> General
In bottom right corner of the General tab click on the 'Accessibility' button. Then check the box titled 'Ignore font sizes specified on web pages'. Then 'OK' your way out of the dialog. IE will now respond to View -> Text Size.
BTW: a similar technique exists for Firefox.
Ultimately, this issue will go away when Jeff adjusts the font-size attribute of the relevant CSS selectors.
Cordially,
Paul

resizable fonts
Jeff/Paul:
Font sizes should be specified in ems, not pts or pixels. 1em being normal size, 0.5em being half-sized, and so on.
eg.
This way the browser will be able to resize them as normal.

Code: Select all
font-size: 0.9em;

I also think that the new font is too small, and it shows italics bent out of shape. Worst of all, it changes many characters for a question mark inside a black diamond, like that Spanish letter that looks like an N with a toupé: Ñ ñ.
Edit: When you highlight a word and press the italics button, the whole message gets italicized; to italicize just one word or phrase you have to type in the whole code. Mi eñes look good on this post; why doesn't Amadeus' signature show them properly? My post with apostrophes as breathing marks (the one with color scanning of Homer) appears with question marks instead of the apostrophes since the new font change.

I agree with Bardo, many characters are rendered in little black diamonds with question marks (Firefox).
Btw, Bardo, thanks for caring about my signature. I just retyped my ñ and it appears to work now.
