It reminds me when we deliver our first VFP framework. In those years, lots of people were running with large fonts (maybe more than today) and we just never supported it in 8 years. It would have caused too much overhead for only a really small amount of users. We did ask however. All of our clients just confirmed us to avoid it. IAC, that's our story. It's not the same for other situations and I understand that some may support it and some may not. But, one thing is for sure. It's easier to support it within a development environment than in a Web. With all we have right now, stylesheet, tables within tables, treeview, etc., it makes it pretty much impossible to represent the same view for normal vs large font users. If we go back a few years ago, it would have been ok. We pretty much had only a few HTML code and a few graphics.

If we find something, we'll add the necessary good. However, I'm not sure we can resolve all situations.
