“I had the privilege of working indirectly for Nate for the past 2 years. Nate's leadership style is quiet and comfortable. Behind the scenes, he is the great negotiator and partner, working hard to forge and maintain strong relationships with product and engineering. Nate is unflappable, in the midst of chaos, he always remains calm, cool and collected. Somehow he manages to move through the uncertainty with grace and clarity, methodically planning every move. As a triple threat, Nate brings a blend of a strong product understanding, great design sensibility and years of technical expertise. Nate is a valuable asset to any matrix organization.”

The invention is directed to a system and method for automatically enabling the font size for text in a web page to be maintained as intended across different types of platforms and without disabling the native controls for adjusting font sizes. If a web page that employs the invention is selected for display, the type of platform, i.e., particular operating system and browser application, for displaying the web page is automatically determined. Once the platform is determined, the invention automatically provides the platform with predetermined small, big, and default font sizes that enable the display of the text at the same size(s) as intended for the web page. Research is performed for the different types of platforms to predetermine font sizes for small, big and default text that will enable the display of text as intended by the author of the web page at a similar size on each platform.
