More than just accessibility consequences. If you decide that
text should be in a certain font size that looks good in your
browser on your monitor screen with your preferred resolution
and window size, how on earth can you be sure it will be legible
to me, on my monitor, with my preferred configuration?
You can't. So don't try and prevent the user from using the
font size that works for them! fl******@comcast.net wrote:

Use an image of it :-)

Jonathan,
Don't forget about some browsers that can "zoom" the entire page, images and text alike!
Just my 2cents! ;-)

Surely. Point a gun at him and tell that you will shoot him if he
enlargens text, and if he still tries to do that, shoot him.
Actually, to take a shortcut, just shoot him. Very effective.
P. S. You can't do that in HTML; the <shootelement hasn't been
implemented, and its relatives like <blink>, <marquee>, and <frameset>
aren't effective enough.

Judicious of those elements use may achieve the same effect by driving
users to shoot themselves.

So you create a page that, on my PC, has text that is too small for my
aging eyes and then you want to prevent me from making the text larger
so that I can read it? Don't bother. No one will want to visit the page.

Have you been using Netscape and now feel abandoned by AOL?
Then use SeaMonkey. Go to <http://www.seamonkey-project.org/>.

There is not bulletproof method for that because there are too many
way visitors can mess up the intended design: custom stylesheets,
custom font settings, on-fly site rebuilding using browser plugins
like Greasemonkey for Fx etc.
And in any case there is zooming over Ctrl+ which you cannot block.
