Well I find that most websites are badly designed I guess. But if you use Opera there is no text spilling anywhere. The problem just never exists. For some of us with poorer vision who like large fonts, the ability to zoom uniformly with Opera is just like a gift from the Heavens. What I can't understand is why other browsers can't master this wonderful feature? Most websites I open in Firefox are all scrunched to the left side of my 1680 x 1050 monitor. Once I upgrade to a 1920 x 1200 that problem will be even worse, and when I get a 30" even worse still! I buy a larger monitor to have more space - not to have everything scrunched in a corner. And often in microscopic font I might add.
