As an alternative, I'd suggest using alternative style sheets and a css-style switcher. If people find it too big (or too small), they can easily change the size for themselves. Using fixed point sizes is a definite strike against accessibility. Using fixed font sizes prevents people from resizing the font size using their browsers, among other things. Here are a couple of links for different css style switching implementations. They can be used, of course, to do much more than just change font size. http://www.alistapart.com/articles/alternate/ http://www.alistapart.com/articles/n4switch/ Michael Glaesemann grzm myrealbox com
