Having text with same/similar sizes is desirable across devices and you don’t get that by default. It is not because of smaller devices have less or smaller physical pixels, but is due to scaling that happen on those devices in order not to break pages that are mostly designed for larger desktop screens. For example, … Read more
You have to set the Font property. Size is a readonly property of Font. var textBox = (TextBox)client.Controls[0]; textBox.Font = new Font(textBox.Font.FontFamily, 16);
The WPF Viewbox control will grow / shrink its contents to the available space: http://www.wpftutorial.net/ViewBox.html Just place your TextBlock within a ViewBox: <Viewbox Stretch=”Uniform” Width=”50″ Height=”50″> <TextBlock Text=”Test” /> </Viewbox> Of course, your Viewbox is typically scaled by its container, but hopefully you get the idea!
I suggest you use a CSS reset like the one from YUI. It will make your pages much more consistent across all browsers, including font rendering. It makes the biggest difference with IE and the other browsers, but it gets rid of all manner of inconsistencies.
I’ve been searching through W3C mailing lists but haven’t found any debate on this decision. Here’s what I can infer: 1995 The first published version of the HTML spec (before CSS came into play) actually specified that h4 and h5 should be “normal font” size. The font size for h6 wasn’t explicitly specified, but I … Read more
First things first I have to say that it’s a bad idea to make your text irrelevant to phone settings. It makes your app less friendly for users with disabilities such as blindness or motor impairment. As a developer you should make sure your layout has enough room to render all it’s contents when the … Read more
If you just need a quick, temporary size bump you can press Ctrl + / – to zoom and Ctrl 0 to reset.
In general one should use layout managers for this purpose. That what they are designed for. Delphi (did not work with it for a long time) does not have such managers but is able to handle different dpi ever since. You have to use the autosize propery of the components to ensure that they have … Read more

You could try to use the non-standard IE element.currentStyle property, otherwise you can look for the DOM Level 2 standard getComputedStyle method if available : function getStyle(el,styleProp) { var camelize = function (str) { return str.replace(/\-(\w)/g, function(str, letter){ return letter.toUpperCase(); }); }; if (el.currentStyle) { return el.currentStyle[camelize(styleProp)]; } else if (document.defaultView && document.defaultView.getComputedStyle) { return … Read more
