Hello,
after trying several other places I hope to find an open ear for this issue here.
I stepped on this in the german wikipedia, but its the same in the english and
probaly others:
The stylesheet for printing is called via:
<link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" media="print"
href="/skins-1.5/common/commonPrint.css?41" />
Now for the mostly relevant style it contains a fixed font size:
#content { .. font-size: 11pt; .. }
The effect is that a print page can not be scaled prior to printing, as for
example in Firefox.
Fixed font size reduces the accessability and IMHO makes sense only for
printing on fixed paper forms.
The simple solution would be to replace the '11pt' with a percent or em-Value
that renders similar in popular browsers, like '92%'.
That seems reasonable. Any objections?
