the font for Normal text size

I'm working on an HTML Help system that uses a standard theme template and style sheet. I use a style called 'Normal' for most of the text. The police is currently being Verdana, Regular, size Small, which is very nice for my old eyes. However, I notice that it is so great that the fonts used in other online help systems (for example, online help for RH6). I tried to move to the X-small size, but it is much too small. After a little experimentation, Verdana 11 points looks all right, at least on my screen. My question is this: what is the difference between the system of small-medium-large to measure fonts and the fonts measurement points system? Font sizes appear differently on different monitors of size and resolution? And is there a rule for what font size is the most readable? (I'm familiar with it for printing, not so much for online.)

Thank you, Ben. I went on the website of W3C and got some good information. Sounds like it is preferable to use the xs, sm, m, l, xl font sizes, because users can automatically adjust these by selecting their "privileged" font size (in IE, select the size in the menu of the Page). Font style in pts not resize when the user changes its settings.

I'm still not convinced that I have the right answer, though. There are so many variables to consider (size screen, resolution, type of browser, the browser settings) compared to the good old print WYSIWYG...

    Screen resolution refers to the clarity of the text and images on your screen. At higher resolutions, items appear sharper. They appear also smaller, so more items adapted to the screen. At lower resolutions, fewer items adapted to the screen, but they are larger and easier to see. At very low resolutions, however, images may have serrated edges.

  • How to set the font for this SuperNova will display the text properly

    I have a problem with the use of Firefox with Supernova. Supernova is a program for the Visual disabled allowing you to enlarge the office. When you visit the page

    http://www.raadvanstate.nl/Uitspraken/zoeken-in-Uitspraken/Tekst-uitspraak.html?ID=73735 & summary_only =

    you will see orange colored text in the main text block. It appears correctly. However when I enlarge the screen with Supernova this orange text is barely readable due to the fact that the letters seems constructed points instead of a smooth line.

    Note that this happens even with this page where I enter these details of the issues. Supernove enlarged rhe screen, texts outside of the text box are horrible while the text in this text box is good.

    I ask this question here because when I use Internet explore this problem does not occur.

    I tried to make a screenshot, but the screenshot feature only "sees" the screen is enlarged. So when I zoom to 100% with Supernova, the text in the screenshot seems to agree.

    I realize that this is a difficult question to reproduce, but any help is welcome. Note that it is not a real option for me to enlarge the font with the Firefox options. Supernova expands the full screen, not only the text on the Web page. In this way, I am also able to see the menu / bookmarks of Firefox itself.

    Thank you very much
    Hans

    You can use an extension to set a page zoom and the size of the default font on the web pages.

    Try disabling hardware acceleration in Firefox.

    Hello

    Am new suite adobe, but with some problems to adapt very well.

    Could someone help me please with a manual step by step how I can change the size of the font, line thickness and editing text in adobe illustrator.

    Your help is quite appresiated.

    Paul,

    Some tips that can be difficult to find through the help:

    Type:

    When you want to change the overall size of the Type (text), make sure you only select the integer object; You can do it with the selection tool (Direct) (one of the arrows).

    When you want to change the size of the specific characters/parties of Type, make sure that you select (only) the relevant part with the text tool (T).

    If you do the opposite, you'll regret.

    Weight of the race:

    That's what you call in the op line weight.  It's in the stroke palette/Panel.


    Both:

    You can use the menu drop-down and select the values or insert; both have pt for points as a default value, but you can use other units by adding their abbreviation (mm for mm, cm, cm, inches, px for pixel (which is basically the same as pt), and you don't want to know about picas.)

    If you need or want to, you can also change the units generally, edit > Preferences > units & Undo; any change persists until changed again, through documents.
