So many options...

Hello Dear List Members!

I have followed threads on "fits and starts" of different aspects of font
issues. But, good Lord, I have recently slipped into the slough of despond!

Are there any good "general" suggestions for a development environment in
which a webmaster will find no surprises? I recently took a tour of some of
my friends PC's and visited the pages that I have published. I was floored.
Everything looks so different from one to the other.

Just to touch on the issues I'm discovering in IE:

screen res
View | Text Size
Large Fonts vs. Small Fonts

Is there ANY way to guarantee "non-jumbled" pages? For example...I have a
block of links inside a small table...they look great at 800 X 600, using
the "small fonts" setting of my display, and using the "Smallest" setting
in IE for font display. But at the "Medium" setting, they skew. I know that
the same thing happens depending upon a viewer's screen res, etc.

Do I need to test things at EVERY setting? Man, what a PITA! In any case,
your help is begged for on this one!

Sincerely,

Michael
