That's exactly what they cannot do if they are browsing my store using MSIE as I have the font size fixed at 12px. If they used the Maxthon add-on, or Firefox, or Opera they would have no problems to enlarge the pages. But somehow I do not like the idea of telling would be customers something like: "If you want to enter my store you MUST wear your brown shoes" ...

Could you give us your url so we can look at your site. I have found that users who still have their resolution set to 800x600 don't realize that they can change it, so they can see your site just fine. Users who have their resolution set higher know something about computers (or their son changed it for them) and if they are interested in your site can change their resolution.

I have a rule... You can't please all of the people all of the time.. and ... I want my site to look its best so I attempt to please the majority not the minority. (I only want intelligent people surfing my site who have money :D )

I have enough to worry about with X-Cart then the font issue :twisted:

I guess what it really comes down to is a choice between a complaint here and there about small font sizes, or running the risk of having your site layout fall apart because someone inadvertently has their IE settings set to display text at Largest. If you find a way to deliver a site that is 100% compatible with every browser and resolution out there, you will make a mint :)

As I mentioned before, if you are really concerned about the minority, use a detection script that will deliver a different style sheet for each different browser/resolution.
