It's not the font size that's changing, it's the monitor resolution settings that are different
which make your font appear larger or smaller. ( It also makes images appear larger or smaller )

To see this effect, right click a blank area of your desktop, select Properties, click Settings,
move the slider for
"Screen Area" to a different setting and then click OK.

You can always change it back

You can't! The reason people change their screen resolution and/or font size is so that they can
read what is on their screen. If a user can't read the content on your web site, then they will just
move on to another site where they can. Do you really want to do that, if so why create a web site?

I found some website's font size are always the same (their font size are
always normal size, so the browser usually read the text) nomatter I changed
my resolution or change font size on the browser option.

I don't want the font size to be changed by browser because my web page
contain many table. if the font size changed by browser, the position of text
will go to the wrong place.

I found that some people add style into text(make the text's front size
unchanged.) however it didn't work on my page.

what do you thank about the solution for this problem?

thanks

Yes, there are many sites that use CSS to control the font size, however when a user visits one of
these pages and can't read it, they will then go to another web where they can adjust the size, if
needed.

It is up to you as the site developer, whether you want to keep your visitors or chase them away by
trying to control their viewing experience.

I develop all of my projects with tables as well, many with nested tables, and I don't worry about
trying to control the font size, if the user needs to increase the font site, it is to my or my
client's benefit that the user can do so, because it means that can then read the text and hopefully
buy something and then later return.

See my site below, you can adjust the font to the largest size, if that is what you need to do in
order to read it.

You can change the font size on these sites easily in Internet Explorer, and
even easier in other browsers.
In IE,
Tools->Internet Options-> General Tab
Click Accessibility button
Tick "Ignore font sizes specified on Web pages"
Click OK, OK
The font size can now be adjusted.

The bottom line is - You cannot control the font size in a web page, you can
only suggest it.

You question has been answered!

You cannot change it - it is to do with the Screen Resolution. See Steve
Easton's reply.
