I agree that the user interface for doing a more precise font change is poor. Since my wife and I change back and forth, I prefer the button but I can see that if you wanted a particular size IE would not be very helpful. > I find myself waiting eagerly for user stylesheets in MSIE precisely > so I can solve the above problem. I don't see how digging into CSS is any better as a UI then digging into the registry. The browser should just give you the option that you need in its preferences dialog box. How it is implemented should be pretty much irrelevant. In any case, authors who actually set the text size for preformatted text will have precedence over your stylesheet so you will be in the odd position of being able (perhaps) to read documents without stylesheets better than documents with them.
