Then how do you test for viewers whose font size is not the same as yours? That can best be emulated with text zoom, not page zoom. -- Chris F.A.

That can best be emulated with text zoom, not page zoom. Explain to me why you believe Text Zoom to be better at it than Page Zoom. -- Gus

Doens't result in a permanent horizontal scroll bar (IE at least).

I didn't realize my thread was still alive! Dorayme is right that the image shifts down as the font size is increased. I never would have thought to check that and I find it odd that it does (FF3 at least). Myself, I always check to see if text zoom only breaks the page, I've never though of checking in Page Zoom, after all it is just a magnifier and I agree that horizontal scrollbars are terrible creations.

Neither changes the size of anything but the text. Page zoom changes images as well; a different default text size doesn't. -- Chris F.A.
