A pirate walks into a bar with a huge ship's steering wheel down his pants.
The bartender asks, "Are you aware that you have a steering wheel down your pants?"
The pirate replies, "Arrrrr! It's driving me nuts!

It works fine for me in IE6, too. What are you changing the font size to from 180%? If I change it to 200% and 10%, I see the size go up and down respectively.

Try changing your CSS to this:
I'm just wondering if your "default" font was something that didn't support scaling very well.
Hope this helps,

Code:
<style type="text/css">
p {
font-size: 180%;
font-family: verdana, arial, helvetica, sans-serif;
}
</style>I'm just wondering if your "default" font was something that didn't support scaling very well.

Do you perhaps have a local style sheet on your PC that is overriding the value sent from the page? On IE6, check Tools > Internet Options > Accessibility.

Went to Accessibility option and found - 'ignore font sizes specified on web pages'- ticked. Unticked it and the font sizes now change. However on IE the texts are now not as bright and they are smaller. I now remember that a site recommended this change to make web text larger.
Thanks for the solution.

there is a whole set of tricks to make your font size appear normal yet scale correctly, as some IE and Netscape products choke and/or misinterprit font sizes.
The following code sets the body font size to normal for ALL browsers in a way that validates. (use ALL the lines)
