The mention in Roedy's page of PLAF's, got me to
wonderring what could be done for 'poor old AWT'.

Here is my 1st hackish attempt at producing a
text size in an AWT based (TextArea/Label)
applet, that adjusts according to the font size
used for the HTML.
<http://www.physci.org/test/textsize/>

So far I have only seen it work for IE on one screen
size. Does it work for you? (I want the details listed
in the table at the bottom, ideally.)

* If this technique were to be used for an AWT based
GUI with many components, it would probably be
better to iterate the available components, rather
than explicitly code them as I did in this example.
For Swing, the 'size aware' PLAF would obviously
be the best tactic to pursue.
