Help on setting CSS font-size on IE11/19/2007 2:31:30 AM

0/0

 Hi All,

 

I have increased the font-size (for most of the elements) of my application from 80% to 110%. While the change is seen on Firefox, the I see no change (i.e. fonts remain as small as before) on IE. Then, I tested to increase the size further to 120%, 130% etc. and still sees no change effected on IE.

Your help is much appreciated.

With the CSS font-size element, you should apply the size as an 'em' so that when the end-user changes the text size in their browser (View->Text Size->Small/Medium/Large etc), the font can resize.

This can sometimes cause issues with your design/layout if a user has their text size set to Largest, but it's more of an accessibility feature...making your site/application available to those who can read normal text, and to those who need larger text.

font-size:1em;

1 is the 'standard' size, but you can increase/decrease it to suit what you need (in increments of 0.1) 0.8, 0.9, 1, 1.1, 1.2 and so on
