Abstract

The invention is directed to a system and method for automatically enabling the font size for text in a web page to be maintained as intended across different types of platforms and without disabling the native controls for adjusting font sizes. If a web page that employs the invention is selected for display, the type of platform, i.e., particular operating system and browser application, for displaying the web page is automatically determined. Once the platform is determined (504), the invention automatically provides the platform with predetermined small, big, and default font sizes (506) that enable the display of the text at the same size(s) as intended for the web page. Research is performed for the different types of platforms to predetermine font sizes for small, big, and default text that will enable the display of text as intended by the author of the web page at a similar size on each platform (512).
