Ok, on my site, the fonts looks bigger in the tables than before. It still looks right in mozilla, but on IE, the fonts in the tables got bigger even though i didnt' change the html. it's <font size=2> but now the 2 looks like a 3 and the 1 is still normal. Can anyone help me? I hope this makes sense.

Is the font size up to normal? I don't use IE, but it should be something like View>>Font Size??

[wetwater]

Oh thanks that was it, but why are some fonts on the page affected when others aren't? How do you make it so that none of the fonts are affected by that?

Depends on if you can scale the font or not.
I wouldn't suggest making it so that none of the fonts are affected, I find most fonts are very hard to read when you're at a larger screen resolution that yours. Practically, you shouldn't use anything bigger than 1024 x 768, but some people do.
Size one looks rather small in anything bigger.

[wetwater]

well the thing is, the font that's affected is inside a table, and if the font gets bigger, then the table is widened, and that affects the alignment of the page. So, is there a way to make the fonts 'unscaleable'?

[talcumpowder]

Usually it's only certain font files types that are scaleable or not. You should just google something like... 'disable font resizing' or something.

Heh, I realized I have the problem too, but on my sub-domain, not on xanga. I was surprised nothing happened in xanga. I think you can do it through CSS, as in putting px instead of pt. Not sure. x_X

[wetwater]

mine isn't on xanga either. it's on my site. yeah i think i'm gonna try googling. tell me if you find anything.

[threepointone]

you have to specifically set the font sizes either in css or html. it'd be something like this:

CODE

<style>
body {font-size: xxpt;}
table, td, tr {font-size:xxpt;}
div {font-size: xxpt;}
</style>

most likely, doing a quick fix like this will totally screw up your design, so you'll have to play around with the values or your html before it finally stops scaling

same with upstairs.

BUT, use px instead of pt. Because if a user is using different DPI than you, the font would look bigger or smaller too.
PX is absolute.
