When I view it in IE6 I can increase the text size (albeit in a limited way given the outstanding lack of choices avialable). However, it seems that the site builder has paid no regard to the line height thus when I increase the text size lines start overlapping.
I'm quite interested in this as our CMS uses fixed px font-sizes and I'd quite like a good argument too.

Subject: fixed font size.
The site http://www.pilot-link.org/
is using an external css file in which the font size is fixed.
When I mailed him, he seemed confident that his was a good site,
asking for feedback.
In the css file he has
body {
font-size: 10px;
font-family: verdana, helvetica, sans-serif;
}
I.e. he's fixed everything at 10 pixels font size, which I find
uncomfortably small.
Quite rigid, doesn't allow me to increase it for my own needs.
I think with IE6 on board, the only way I can overcome his
font size is by using my own CSS in the cascade?
How can I persuade him that its not a good idea please?
Regards DaveP.
