Font size

It is 5, the Adobe link to the right is 4.
Pt size is for print.


|I used size 5 (18 pt) for the words ORDER FORMS.
| In Design view it is that size, with Firefox it is
| that size, but in IE it is only 4 (14 pt). I looked at
| the code (which I know almost nothing about) and I
| see size 5. What am I doing wrong?

I don't understand your answer. In Firefox,
ORDER FORMS is 5, and the rest of that line,
and the three lines below it are 4. In IE,
everything is 4. I am talking about what you
see, not what the code says. Is there an
error in the code? I didn't touch the code, I
only looked at it.

Side by side in IE and FF, they appear identical on my machine. But, I can
make them different if I want.

In IE: View | Text Size set it for Medium...do the look the same now?

They are the same in my IE. I don't use FF but in IE click View then
text size and click Larger & it should be the same.

I downloaded Firefox just to look at my websites.
That is all I use it for. IE is my default browser.
Nothing has changed. In Firefox (and Display),
ORDER FORMS is bigger than everything else, like
it should be. In IE, everything is the same size, which
doesn't agree with the code.
In both browsers, choosing larger or smaller type
doesn't change the above, it just makes everything
bigger or smaller.

It is later. I have been experimenting in FP (not
publishing). I can type ORDER FORMS in size 1, that
is what will show in code, but when I Preview in
Browser, all four lines are the same size...I can type
ORDER FORMS in size 7, that is what will show in
code, but when I Preview in Browser, all four lines
are the same size. Therefore, everything comes out
in default size, no matter what size I use.
What do I have to do to have different size type
in IE?
 
Sorry, I don't know. I can't reproduce what you are describing with your
page, with your page. I've tried what you describe and it behaves as
expected. Are you saving your page before you Preview In Browser?

Yes I am saving.

I just tried an experiment at a website where I
direct traffic to my two main sites.
Look at http://www.souvenirstreetsigns.com/test.htm
In FP Design I typed the lines in the size shown and
then Published. When I look at it with IE, all the lines
are the same size. When I look at it with Firefox, all
the lines are in the size I typed. What do you people
out there see?
 
I see 7 different sizes in Windows XP SP2 / IE 6

I also have Windows XP SP2 / IE6, but as I said, in
Firefox I see all 7 different sizes, in IE all the lines
are the same size. I just momentarily disabled my
Norton Anti-virus and Firewall and it made no
difference. I know this isn't the place for
solving IE problems, but I would appreciate any
help offered. You can E-mail me at the address

Problem solved. If anyone ever has a similar problem
here is the solution.
Internet Explorer > Tools > Internet Options >
General > Accessibility > Formatting >
Ignore font sizes specified on web pages (Somehow
this box got checked, I don't know how). I unchecked
it.

Thank you very much Thomas A. Rowe
