>>The solution is very easy. My solution above is quite straight forward and if we added both languages must be the same size then fine. Have you ever heard the expression "two wrongs don't make a right"? The existing laws as stated are, IMO, more anti-english than pro-french. If you can't see this, then we will just have to agree to disagree and leave it at that.

I didn't think you were.

You can believe this but it is not really the case. It isn't a coincidence that these laws came about by a separatist government shortly after the Meech Lake Accord failure and shortly before the referendums.

In this statement you contradict yourself. You stated in an earlier post, "If you don't impose any size it also means that a business can put it as little as they want. In front of most stores we would see tiny (microscopic) messages in french and big messages in english." So, is it only a problem if english is bigger?

This thread has grown way beyond the scope of the original question. If you would like to continue this discussion please email me at magee@rosetech.com.
