From: Richard Levitte - VMS Whacker <levitte@lp.se> | And even then, the fonts used on a Mac, or on a PC, or on a Sparc, or on | a VAX, aren't necessarelly represented the same way, and often look pretty | ugly on such pages on systems other than the kind the page was created on. | | I've seen those... | | There is no way to get it right for everyone, except by *not* having the | spiffy "layout" all over the place... --- So, because we cannot be correct for everyone, we should not take worry about being correct for anyone? If I can provide a guide that is useful to 90% of my readers, then 90% of my readers are better off than they would be otherwise and the other 10% are only marginally worse off than they would have been otherwise (their resizing may be a little too much or too little). Now, if the failure in the other 10% cases really pisses them off, that might not be a gaiend up being a net loss, but in this particular matter I don't think that's very likely. scott -- scott preece motorola/mcg urbana design center 1101 e. university, urbana, il 61801 phone: 217-384-8589 fax: 217-384-8550 internet mail: preece@urbana.mcd.mot.com
