Default Text Size

A browser can change text size under View, Text Size.

However, on some sites, no matter how you set your Text Size...the sites
text size (font) does not change.

HOW DO THEY DO THIS. I WOULD REALLY LIKE TO KNOW!

Default Re: Text Size

Try this:

Create a new blank page.
Make a new laye and size it and place it wherever you want.
Import some text into the layer (or type in whatever you want)
Go to the Format menu and select STYLE, then select NEW
Give the style the name "my_font" (no quotes)
Go to the FORMAT flyout and select FONT
select any font you want and in the size box type in 14px.
Click OK and OK again to dismiss the STYLE dialog.
Highlight the text and then go to the Styles dropdown menu at the top left
of your screen and select .my_font to assign it to the selection.
Select preview in Browser (you will have to save the file first)
when the preview appears try to change the font size by holding down the
control button and scrolling the wheel on your mouse.
Your text should now be "fixed".

It's quite simple, actually.....one just has to learn about style sheets.
