If you change > the font this make a trouble in the dialog boxes of course. Would it be possible to have horizontal scrollbars on text fields long enough to need them? Given the statement: W3C's position is clear: All the protocols and languages we issue as Recommendations should meet or exceed established accessibility goals. In addition, we will actively encourage the development of Web software and content that is accessible to people with most disabilities. in the document: http://www.w3.org/WAI/References/Activity.html I think you should allow people to use large fonts if they need it. I don't program under Windows, but I know there has been a fair amount of activity by Microsoft in the accessibility area, so they may have resources you can tie into that would assist in this. One place to look would probably be: http://www.microsoft.com/enable/ which seems to be the jumping off point for their info. Hugh hgs@dmu.ac.uk
