Hallo Forum,
after weeks of coding I have finished the side
and I thought - foolishly - it was crossbrowser-safe. Well, today I got a feedback that there was something wrong with the font-size on a Mac/IE 5.0.
Could anybody with an MAC/IE 5.0 system check my side and tell me, what could be the reason?
Thanks a lot and all the best
Jürgen
PS: The side is based on a "Typo3" CMS

Mac IE 5.0 font size problem
Hello Juli,
I just checked on IE 5.2 on an iMAC running OS X 10.2.8 and it looked fine. The type was actually easier to read in IE 5.2 than it is in Firefox 1.0 in my opinion. I wouldn't worry about IE 5.0 for MAC as the percentage of your viewers using such an antiquated browser is going to be a fraction of 1%.

Mac IE 5.0 font size problem
Hallo Paul
thanks for your reply. After some reading hours on css I had changed the font size from
body {
font-size: 3m;
}
to
body {
font-size: 12pt;
}
That seemingly does the job.
Thanks for listening.
All the best
Jürgen

Mac IE 5.0 font size problem
It was always my understanding that you shouldn't use "points" for font size - percentages and "em" units were best.
That said, I've recently had the same font size problem with IE 5.2 on Mac when I was using percentages. I switched to defining the global font size in "em" units and everything worked fine.
