RE: fonts

There's another trick that I discovered quite accidentally.  If you have the
newer MS mouse with a rollerball in the center, this works.

Hold down Control and roll the ball up or down as desired.  Pretty neat,
huh?

My fianc�e had the same problem with his fonts getting larger suddenly. If
you are using IE, go to view, then text size. From there you can specify
largest, larger, medium, smaller, smallest. CSS seems to override those
settings. Happy fonting!

Diane's website made me remember a question I keep thinking of.

She specified Times New Roman in the paragraph on the home page.  My
browser rendered it as Arial or something very like, per my
specification in the browser (I find serif fonts very cluttered and hard
to read on screen).

I was wondering why web designers bother to specify a font when the
browser can override that choice?  OTOH, she specified the font size as
well, and that seemed to work.  I have no idea where it's set, but
someplace in the browser I most use, a few months ago something changed
the rendering of font sizes to smaller than I was used to and I haven't
bothered to try to figure that out :)  Diane's website rendered the size
quite a bit larger than what I've gotten used to.

Just wondering!
