Is it possible to fix the size of text on a web page (i.e. not letting viewers use their browser's text bigger/smaller controls) without resorting to a graphic?

No its not possible, and why would you want to. You would drive away return
visitors.

Hi,

Just assign the size to text in pixels. This way the size is absolute and the users cannot change it in the browser.

Hope this s.

That is wrong. There is no way to fix text size in a browser. The only
solution is to use Flash or an graphic.

Interesting... I had a fair amount of text, so I did a jpeg. But it took long time to load. So went back to text.

You can reduce most jpegs to small files with optimisation in an
image-editing programme such as PaintShop Pro, Photoshop or Fireworks,
playing with the numbers and getting the balance right between size and
quality. I'm not suggesting this is better than text btw.

Try it. It doesn't work like that.

A GIF would certainly be better for text than a JPG and smaller too, but
either approach is the wrong one, honestly.
