That's what I thought we were talking about, but we answered that question.
Quote:
But no matter what you do, most browsers allow the user to change the font size based on a percentage of the original/set font size. There's nothing you can do about it.
Quote:
there is no way to make the font in a fixed size,
other than to use images, which isn't a very good solution,
The site you provided still acts undesirably in Mozilla. It uses "pt"s for its size units BTW. If that doesn't change in IE ... well, that wouldn't surprise me much. Can you provide a link to a site that doesn't change so we can see what they did?

That site uses two unit types in its stylesheet, pt and px. The text on the left to which you refer uses pt, and while it doesn't change in IE, it does change in Mozilla. However, the text in the grey boxes in the middle uses px; it changes in IE and Mozilla.

Looking at it a little closer, that site doesn't use CSS for that font; it actually uses <font> tags. Maybe you should try that. I can't play with anything b/c I don't have IE readily available.

Some people make alphabet images, annoying as hell to use. I guess you could write a simple script for design purposes to re-write text into IMG tags for your alphabet images.

I think you want to use px for your units. It works for me in IE, but not in Mozilla/Firebird, like has been said before. There are a few changes, but they're minor.

You can look at my site here:
http://www.elknet.net/elkjac/

There are still a few things that change, but the meat of the site will always look the same in IE.

hi 9800. maybe it will help to see a simple example?

paste this code into a new document and open it in your browser, then play with the text size adjustments. you should see the points (haha, pun intended) illustrated in the example.

Code:
<html>
<head>
<title>9800's text tantrum</title>
<style type="text/css">
.pixels {
	font: 12px verdana,sans-serif;
	color: #000;
	}
.ems { /*a typographical unit of measurement. It is officially equal to the width of the letter 'm' in the current font.*/
	font: 1em verdana,sans-serif;
	color: #333;
	}
.percent {
	font: 90% verdana,sans-serif;
	color: #666;
	}
.points {
	font: 10pt verdana,sans-serif;
	color: #999;
	}
a:hover { color: #600; }
</style>
</head>
<body>
<p class="pixels">This paragraph font is set in px measurements.</p>
<p class="ems">This paragraph font is set in em measurements.</p>
<p class="percent">This paragraph font is set in % measurements.</p>
<p class="points">This paragraph font is set in pt measurements.</p>
<hr />
<a href="#" class="pixels">This link font is set in px measurements.</a><br />
<a href="#" class="ems">This link font is set in em measurements.</a><br />
<a href="#" class="percent">This link font is set in % measurements.</a><br />
<a href="#" class="points">This link font is set in pt measurements.</a>
</body>
</html>


have fun!

but even in ie you can overrule the px sized fonts,
so why bother, you can't lock the font-size,
