If you don't have the headings in place for search engine reasons (as in they're just ordinary titles), then I'd go into Photoshop and create GIFs/JPGs of them. They can't be resized no matter what.

This is where I disagree with faglork. I think they both got it "wrong." IE is right in that a pixel is an absolute unit of measure (1/72") and that it shouldn't change. When any other document (a Word doc, PSD, etc.) is set up with text, the text is in pixels and there's no feature built within to resize the text in relative terms of "larger, largest, smaller, smallest".

But that leads me to my next point...where they all got it wrong. And for it, I'm going back to Word for an example. When you have text in Word and you want to make it bigger, you make the whole document bigger by using the Zoom feature, as you would with a PSD. To keep it consistent, browsers should have some sort of Zoom feature as well. This way, the issue of readability is negated for both plain and embedded text.

It's a part of Flash now...why can't it be a part of everything else?
