Re: Font size - user control

Yes, that's exactly what that priority is talking about. In IE if you size your font with pixels users will not be able to resize it using the browser controls. If you use relative units like % or ems they will. In other browsers such as Safari or Firefox users can resize text regardless of what units you use.
Hope that helps,
