I just purchased a Samsung 930B flat-panel monitor. Its *recommended*
resolution is 1280x1024.
I was previously running at 1024x768, but I also work with graphics. Any
images that were square or circle looked about 10% taller than they should
be. Naturally, correcting the screen resolution to the monitor's native of
1280x1024 fixed this and displayed more accurate proportions.
Because this change made all screen elements microscopic, my next step was
upping the monitor's DPI setting to Large (120dpi). Unfortunately, this
causes disproportion in the text in my web site, and I cannot decide whether
to change Internet Explorer's text size from Medium to Smaller. (At 120dpi,
Smaller is the closest match to where I was before).
I believe my best bet is to code the text size in my web site to compensate
for these changes. Can anyone give me any options which may help keep my web
site's text consistent through changes in resolution and DPI?

Yes, don't set a font size at all, or set it in percentages, eg:
body {font-size:100%}
h1 {font-size:130%}
..legaleze {font-size:85%}

Are you the only person who visits your web site? If so, then, heck,
specify the font size in points, and do whatever makes you happy.
Oh, wait. You say your web site is on the Internet, and available to the
public? Well, in that case, it'd be quite selfish of you to change the
size of text that _all_ of your visitors will see, simply because your
own personal browsing situation has changed. In that case, you should
adjust your own _browser's_ settings so that text on your web site (and
presumably, most others) is at a size that you can read easily, and
trust that your visitors will do the same.
Forcing some font size on your visitors in order to improve your own
personal browsing situation is not only a crude solution, it's rude.

Yes, it is the default, but as I understand it, doing the setting helps
alleviate an IE bug, where that browser tends to get confused if it is
not declared.
It also shows your intent to observe user defaults to anyone reading
your code.

I have a question about text rendering I'm hoping someone here can
answer. Is there a way of doing linguistically correct rendering of
Unicode strings in Python? In simple cases like Latin or Japanese I can
just print the string and see the correct results. However, I don't know
how to get Python to do the right thing for writing systems which
require contextual processing.
For example, let's say I create this Unicode string in Arabic:

Hello All,
I would like for a tkinter text widget to be aware of how big the frame that
contains it is, then I would like for it to reset its width to the
appropriate number of characters when this frame changes size.
I can get a cget("width") for the text, but this does not dynamically reflect
the visible width.
One way I can think of is getting the size of the font used in the widget then

Ever since I upgraded my Windows display to 120 DPI (kind of a necessary
change), fonts have been clearer and graphics have been crisper. However,
the 25% automatic increase in the text size on my web site has thrown it all
askew.
Combining my monitor's native resolution of 1280x1024 and the XP setting of
120 DPI, everything else is great, but now standard Serif on my web site
looks like I'm reading a Dr. Seuss book.

I'm a newbie to CSS, so be kind. :-)
I have looked at examples of CSS and have not seen this yet. How can
you change the colors of the text in the same word in CSS? For example,
when how can you take the word "infosystems" and make the "info" part
red, and the "systems" part blue? I don't want to have to hard-code
this in HTML which is why I'm looking to CSS to do this. Thanks!

Hi everybody.
I have a JavaScript function that is meant to fade in a HTML element.
To do this I use the standard "opacity" style, plus the non-standard IE "filter: alpha" monstrosity.
This all works, except when the element contains text. In that case, IE appears to go all... well, IE on me, and starts rendering the text all funky.
I made an example of this here.
If you run this in any browser except IE, the two blocks of text will...
