Does anyone have strong reasons for preferring relative font-sizes to a screen maginifier? if so what are they? For magnifiers: There is a serious conflict between the necessity of keeping everything on one page, and allowing users to control font size. for people with severe learning difficulties, this is particularly acute. magnifiers, allow one to gain a feel for the whole document, whilst enlarging a part. setting the font size to large makes the document larger than the screen, and one looses the ability to percieve the whole. further, a great number of people don't appreciate that there is more than one can see. from an offline discussion with Boris Zbarsky, following from a recent brief thread at www-style: scale: font-size to % of client window? thanks jonathan chetwynd
