Is it possible to determine with javascript or other means if the user has
any sort of font-smoothing in effect on their os or ua?
Serif'd fonts don't look so nice on non-smoothed systems, so, i'd rather
switch to plain old Arial...
The idea is to detect this fact and then alter the font/s that are used to
display a website via javascript - modifying the dom tree, I guess.
Thanks,

No.

Or rely on the user's default font? You can probably assume that it works
for his settings.
Or let the user pick the font he prefers.

To change the font, you change the CSS rules, not the DOM tree.

OK, shame.
The default font on FF3 seems to be Times New Roman. This is not such a
good choice on non-smoothed systems.
I would have thought to change the font via javascript, that a CSS rule for
say body would be inserted into the dom tree that overrode the one specified
in the main css file.
What do you mean by changing the css rules? Can this be done in javascript
outside of the dom tree?

We're printing invoices using the printer function in VB6. If we print to
an IBM-compatible dot-matrix, we can use a font called "12 CPI HSD" which
works well, since we want to use 12-pitch. If we want to print to our HP
Laser, we need to know that it is a laser so we can change the font to
something comparable. Is there a way to determine what type of printer is
selected - i.e. Laser(or deskjet) or Dot Matrix?

All my font-sizes are set as relative sizes in CSS (large, medium, small,
x-small, etc). Let's say something is set in CSS to be xx-large, but a
visually impaired user wants it displayed even bigger. Can a script
determine an element's absolute size, *as it is being rendered by the
browser*, and then increment the element's font-size in absolute terms?
Thanks!

Hello folks,
I am unable to find appropriate documentation on the type promotion of bit-fields when using the generalised comparison operator "<=>".
The problem is that using the GNU compilers, it seems that the internal comparison operator "<=>" tries to promote arguments from unsigned to signed.
This is as boiled down as I can make it.
