I am aware of the problem.

Just checked pages like http://news.bbc.co.uk/ http://www.politiken.dk
etc. and quite many does not allow the text to be sized.

May I ask, what is your problem (glasses, bad sight...?), and how do
you overcome it?

And may I ask the group, how do you make a design with graphics and
stuff in tables/text so it allows to change the text size properly?
In some way I fan the plain simple HTML sites, but a nice design is
needed these days. As I found on BBC's pages, it leaves some people
out.

I should admit here, that even that I work with PHP and so, I am not
at all an expert in html/design/css, more a software guy. E.g. when
mentioned above, that 10.0pt is for printing, what is the proper way
to do it html? personally I prefer verdana or arial, font size=2
(which is some 10-11 pixels at my computer). Still, I do not use max
resolution, as I have glasses too. Some 1280xwhatever is good for me
still, though 1800x... is not.
