Jean, not sure how comfortable you are with CSS, but I would suggest
using ems and percentage. That allows the user to scale, and older
browsers will just ignore it.
For example, you can set your body to:
body
{
font-size: 75%;
}
Then adjust your rules accordingly - so for your P tags you want it
"defualt" size, set it to 1 em:
p { font-size: 1em; }
or a header tag might be
h3 { font-size: 1.3em }
You can check out my site below, I use it there and it works well.
Tom
