Are my fonts too big?

acs4all · July 9th, 2003, 3:10 AM

My site has been around for a while, but I have just recently moved over to Surpass. I think I might be having a problem with my font size being too big, though.

On my main computer, I have a 20" monitor, running at 1280 x 1024 resolution. I also have a computer next to me with a 15" monitor at 800 x 600. Here's my site:

Affordable Computer Services is my site.

My site seems to look fine on both of them, but when I have been a couple other people's houses, they've pulled up my site and everything just looks way "too big". They may have had their font size in Internet Explorer set at something other than medium, but I'm not sure (didn't ask or check).

Also, if anyone would like to add any other comments (good or bad) about the site, feel free. I just finished another site for a customer, that I used OSCommerce on, and it turned out looking so good (in my opinion) that I'll be changing my site over to PHP, soon. I just have to figure out how to get the SSL working, first.

Thanks!
Tom

Site looks fine on my side, Cox

tip: using the left control key and scrolling the mouse page scroller will adjust the size of the font on the fly, its a common mistake to enlarge it by accident.

Perfect and Nice website. Try to get a higher quality picture or just blur it if you can (The Glasses on a book picture)

Nice site...well put together and easy to understand. The fonts look good from here but I know what you mean - I've seen others with diff. settings and it always looks big. Hate that.

It looks perfect on my old 15 inch monitor and 800X600 resolution :bananadance:

Thanks Jim.

There are a lot more big catfish photos on my CatfishED.com site but I shouldn't plug it here because it is not yet hosted by Surpass.

It will be soon.

I'm working on it EG :P , as you probably figured out by my "I'm totally confused" thread in "Resellers" that you just responded to.
