Microscopic Fonts in the Forums and other parts of the site...

[JJepsen]

I am a coaster fanatic, AND a Mac user. Most Macs default to screen resolutions of 72dpi (which makes graphic design more accurate, as Macs RULE in graphics).

Apparently the site is designed with Windows in mind. Windows defaults to 96 DPI, so the fonts that look normal on Windows are microscopic on the Mac (25% smaller). I've manually gone into my browser prefs to adjust the default to 96dpi, but surely there is a more elegant, transparent-to-the-visitor solution to this?

Thank you,
James

That's strange... I'm on WinXP, and The GIMP has detected my res as 72dpi, and I can see the fonts fine.

Still, i'll look into an option for Mac users and people with massive resolutions with small screens.

Ill let you know when it's here.

Even if your resolution is set to 72, your browser (IE?) may still be set to 96 DPI. I set mine to that setting too, even though my screen is 72.

Thanks for looking into it.

This website works fine on both my mac and my pc, but when im running Linux it messes up (probably not your fault as Linux is notorious for poor font rendering)

Weird. Which browser were you using? Is XFS installed?
