Font size gets smaller on a mac

Group: Forum Members Posts: 30, Visits: 1	I am testing a web-based inquisit task. I found that it runs flawlessly on a PC. But when I launch the same task on a mac (using either Safari or FireFox), the font size on the instruction page and the main task gets much smaller. <instruct> / prevlabel = ("Press B to go back") / nextlabel = ("Press the spacebar to continue") / prevkey = (48) / nextkey = (" ") / fontstyle = ("Arial", 16pt, false, false, false, false, 5) </instruct> <defaults> / screencolor = (0, 0, 0) / fontstyle = ("Arial", 15pt, True) / posttrialpause = 750 </defaults> I wonder if these tags work differently on a mac. On a mac, the real font size looks as small as 9 or 10. Please help me figure out what the problem is here. Thanks so much for your quick help as always.
