Absolutely. Make your design fluid so that it can adjust to the font size, rather than trying to adjust the font size (to what is surely an unreadable level) to accommodate your inflexible design.

Code: [ Select ]
<style type="text/css">
<!--
body {font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif;
font-size: 10px;}
-->
</style>
  1. <style type="text/css">
  2. <!--
  3. body {font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif;
  4. font-size: 10px;}
  5. -->
  6. </style>


Insert this inside the HEAD-tag in any HTML document and it's the default. If this is not what you want, you make your own tag up(kinda XML), and call it <*plum*> or something. Then you put this in your head tag:

Code: [ Select ]
*plum* {font-family: the font(s) you want; font-size: 10px;

Put that between the <!-- and --> if you dont want to make another <style></style>

Hope I could help

Personally I used to use the px commands, but it over-rides the users preferences (which is a bad thing). Now I use ems (0.85em, 1.4em, 0.685em), they're really quite versatile :D
