just wanted to chime in and also add a question of my own here. i usually
wet body {font-size: 62.5%} so then when you size with ems 1.2 ems =12px and
so on. this seems to work for me but last week i had posted a site on here
and was told that with windows set at 120DPI that Opera was increasing the
font size by 25%. i prefer using ems to px but don't want my sites to look
out of wack on high res monitors. is there any solution to this?
Thanks,
Jeff
