Size of type across different computers

Hi,

I am about to run an online study using multiple scripts and a batch file to be hosted on Inquisit.  I have tried the scripts across a few different computers and on my laptop the type of the majority of scripts, although not all, becomes so small it is almost unreadable.  I have attached a sample one of the scripts where I am having this problem. I can not work out why this is happening and thus how to address the problem.

Many thanks,

Rebecca

Try expressing all sizes in the script -- including those in any /fontstyle etc. attributes -- in percentages to scale apprporpriately across various screen sizes and resolutions.

Instead of e.g.

/ fontstyle = ("Verdana", -16, true, false, false, false, 5, 0)

do

/ fontstyle = ("Verdana", 2%, true, false, false, false, 5, 0)
