Hello! There is an excellent page [0] in the list's WIKI on exactly this topic: why its bad (and ultimately futile) to attempt to control font size. To quote the opening phrase: "The short answer is no. A slightly longer answer is yes, but only for certain browsers. And the best answer is: it isn't a good idea." There is a good deal of information on font sizing on the WIKI, so that would be a good place to start to learn about the ups and downs of specifying fonts/sizes. If you're still unclear about any concepts mentioned or have questions about specific CSS techniques, etc. please feel free to post again and we'll try our best to help you out.

If I could, I would also like to remind people that condescending and sarcastic replies really do nothing to help the original poster. The remit of this list is to primarily help those just beginning to use CSS. Those people, in general, may not be fully aware of the whys and wherefors that the rest of us have memorized. A polite answer with a link pointing to the WIKI or a concise explanation would be the most helpful response. And while it might not be taboo, top posting is frowned upon, as it often leads to excessive quoting of irrelevant material from prior posts. Bottom posting will help remind you to trim posts to the minimum information required, and helps maintain the hierarchy of the thread. ______________________________________________________________________ css-discuss [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://www.css-discuss.org/mailman/listinfo/css-d IE7b2 testing hub -- http://css-discuss.incutio.com/?page=IE7 List wiki/FAQ -- http://css-discuss.incutio.com/ Supported by evolt.org -- http://www.evolt.org/help_support_evolt/
