text size

[kaijanm]

Hello,

I'm redeveloping our main system that is used all the time into an ASP.NET app. The users have their resolutions set anywhere from 800 X 600 to 1600 X 1200.

I haven't played with the properties of the text much so it's basically on the default settings. At 800 X 600, the text is HUGE (and takes up the whole screen and the pages don't look good)! But at 1600 X 1200, it is too small for some users.

Does anyone know of a good way to make the size be closer to the same regardless of the resolution?

Thanks for any thoughts on the subject.
Kimberly

I'd try using an absolute unit of measurement instead of relative (if you don't care too much about accessibility).

This is in the context of CSS, but it applies to generally to measurements:
