I tried to change the text size to "Smallest" but there was no effect. Something wrong with IE?
IE doesn't scale fonts if they're specified in pixels. Maybe that's
It's not supposed to - according to the specs. pixels are absolute sizes and MUST NOT be scaled. A point is also an absolute size, but, may be different in different resolutions.
If you want your fonts to be scaled, then use %, em, en, ex. These are all relative sizes based on the container's value. For the top level, the container is the browser.
the reason. Galeon's zoom feature scores here :-) Mozilla also gets it
The zoom feature isn't scaling fonts, it is more like holding a magnifying glass up in front of the page. In this sense, both galeon and mozilla fail since they scale only the text on the page and not the images. Opera on the other hand scales every darn thing it can find, and I have not noticed any loss in image quality even after a 400% zoom.
