The May issue of Web Page Design for Designers is out and making noise about the impact recent Netscape and Internet Explorer browser releases will have on designers, specifically in terms of font usage.
“In the short term though, it is going to cause even more of a headache because you can no longer be certain that type on a Mac is going to be one size and on a PC, another — not that you ever could! A great many Mac-oriented sites are now going to display larger fonts than originally intended, making them look crude and schoolbookish.”
When the browsers all followed their own set of standards, you could bet that at least one of them would display portions of your site reasonably close to how you intended. However, as browsers get closer to sanctioned standards compliance across the board, we’ll get mostly consistent, nearly cross-platform display of content. Maybe.
