In Javascript, how do I detect that the user has used the browser's menu
command to make the font smaller?
I just need some kind of event or callback, so I can adapt to the new
environment.

I don't think you can tell that.
Especially since a user can resize text by using the mouse, too. Mine is set
up to resize when I use control + middle mouse scroll.

All the known events do not cover this, which is a shame indeed, so you need
to constantly monitor the dimensions of a test element. A quick and dirty
example uses the setTimeout() method for that:
<script type="text/javascript">
var old, tid;
function checksize() {
var cur = document.getEle mentById('test' ).offsetWidth;
if( old && old !== cur ) {
alert( 'You just zoomed ' + ( old < cur ? 'in' : 'out' ) + '!' );
}
old = cur;
tid = setTimeout( ' checksize(); ', 50 );
}
window.onload = checksize;
</script>
</head><body>
<div id="test" style="position :absolute;left:-100px;">WWW</div>
In a quick test I learned if the page is in a frameset, IE does not update
offsetWidth's etc. until the window is resized, sigh.

Internet Explorer displays <tt>, <code> etc. in a smaller font size:

I don't like the idea that monospaced text is displayed in a different
size. Should we state "font-size: 100%" with monospaced text?

I want define for a couple of words inside a longer text with different font specifications.
I declared it like:
....text before....
<FONT class=aaa> these text should get other attributes </FONT>
text after
However when I let this html source validate the FONT tag is marked as not compatible with XHTML.
So how do I specify otherwise new font attributes to only a few words?

If you look at http://www.trimboli.name/klingon/, you'll see that the
headers on the page are displayed in small-caps. Usually, this is
desired. However, the header "may'vaD ghuHmoH QoQ"* is surrounded by
<span lang="tlh"> ("tlh" for "tlhIngan Hol"), and I have put a
declaration of "font-variant: normal" in the main stylesheet. I can't
figure out why the Klingon title is still in small-caps. I want all
Klingon phrases to appear in normal...

I have some server side code that instantiates a font object that is then
used for generating a chart.
It has worked great on many machines, but I have run into one where it is
throwing a System.ArgumentException. From the documentation, that would
seem to indicate the font is not present, but since I am using generic sans
serif I have my doubts about that.
The offending line of code is:

Hi,
is there a possibility to set the font size to a percent value of the

For example:
The font size of the body might be 100% and I have a div which should
have a font size of 80% of this value, independent of other tags around

I have a datagrid in an .aspx page that contains some columns using the
"Font=Bold" inline style. The problem is that some users' browsers
aren't displaying the bold font while others are.
We all seem to be using Internet Explorer 6.0. Is the "Font-Bold"
style dependent on some sort of browser setting? If so, where do I
find this setting?

Is there an HTML (or CSS) way to say "use the user's INPUT font,

Most browsers have the ability for the user to pick his or her own
preference for what font to use inside of <INPUTtags. My question
is, is there a way in HTML or StyleSheet language to say something like
this:
<h4>Here are some values - some are hardcoded, and others are input

<FONT face="same as user's input font preference"...

I'm a CSS newbie, but I was browsing through the css files in the YUI
library, and I noticed the following line:
body {font:13px/1.231 arial,helvetica,clean,sans-serif;*font-
size:small;*font:x-small;}
I understand everything but the "/1.231". Is that something like a
multiplier on the EM size? I can't find an example of that in the CSS
spec.
