The font-size? Nope, no way of stopping it and you shouldn't want to. There's reasons that font-size changing is integrated within browsers.

If you want to stop IE users, you can specify the font-size in pixels with CSS.

What are you talking about..? What script are you usingg? It would be really helpful if you put your url and server in your signature, that way we can try to help a lot easier.

edit..? Ah, that font size..?

I am not really sure what you are asking.

Anyone can change the font size of your site by using the browser. It's so that people who have trouble seeing can make the font bigger, or for other reasons.

If you want everyone to see the same font family and font size when they go to your site (at first)..

You cannot stop it unless you use CSS and more specifically pixels to specify the font size. I haven't checked his... but yeah, that's the only way I can think of. And it's often complained that IE doesn't support changing it through those means because it reduces the accessibility of the browser.
