A while back there was a discussion about using font sizes specified in terms of pixels, and how that resulted in tiny letters on high-resolution displays. To give an idea of just how small the fonts appear: the letter "D" in the main forums page that's part of "Main Forums Description" is about 1.7 millimeters high. These monitors are getting more and more prevalent, so more and more people are going to run into this.
In the earlier discussion, someone mentioned that vBulletin 3 uses cascading style sheets, and that it ought to be easy to change the pixel-based sizes into non-pixel-based sizes. Has anyone actually done this? I would be interested in knowing what needs to be changed. I wonder how easy it really is; changing the fonts alone may not be enough since there are other entities that are specified in terms of pixel sizes.
