Now the Cmd-+/1 (or Cntl-+/-) changes size of <i>images</i> as well as text.<p>This presents web design with a new phenomenon: Whereas I used to be able to count on visitors to change font size to suit their readability needs, now I find that if/when they do the page <i>layout</i> may be changed my image size changes.<p>This <i>might</i> have been okay if all/most/any browsers had always operated this way. But now... what a PITA to have to rework old stategies on many sites where I've been able to count on image sizes remaining set.<p>Anyone else struggling with this? ...or even heard Apple <i>announce</i> a strategy change.
This is a trend that all browsers are following (Firefox 3.0+, IE 7+, Opera). It has been going on for a while. Your best bet is to make your text large enough for everyone to read. Or add some JS to dynamically resize text.<p>Choose your poison.
From a design perspective, this is more ideal. At least for me, I want the entire layout to zoom because otherwise things tend to break. Look into Elastic Design for more info: <a href="http://www.alistapart.com/articles/elastic/" rel="nofollow">http://www.alistapart.com/articles/elastic/</a>
