Hi,
After our meeting this morning I tried to play around with fixing the font
size on the services page. I wasn't having any luck on my own so I
consulted the htmlhelp.org page and this is what they said:
While authors can specify SIZE values such as -2 and +3, as well as
absolutevalues such as 1, these kinds of changes are strongly discouraged
due to the sensitivity some users have to different font sizes. While a
value like -2 may look right to you with your eyesight and user settings,
it could easily be unreadable to a user with different eyesight and user
settings.
I'm thinking that it might be best to let people with vision problems up
the font size, even though it messes up my pretty table. Does anyone have
other suggestions?
The page I got this from is located at:
