Yes - that's the medium. Even if you don't know about it, it
happens anyway. If I'm using your site and specify that the
site will use my stylesheet (with high contrast colours and
type the size I can read it), not yours, then that's your tough
luck. If you've made it difficult for me to do that, I'm already
gone.

Relax, chill out, don't be so anal about your precious design.

Or, alternatively, design for print exclusively.

Cheers
Martin
