Hello everybody,

 

I've been struggling with reliable alternatives to pixel-based type sizing
methods, but I haven't been able to find any.  I've read many articles on
this subject.  It's perhaps the aspect of standards-based coding that for
some reason I find the most confusing.

 

Here is an example:

 

http://windows.pedrera.com/clients/omnia/temp/

 

With this template, I used a percentage (62.5%) to set the root parent size
for the body and then used em units to set the size of all child elements.
This seemed to work well on IE 7, Firefox 2, and Safari 3 on my system (Win
XP 2002, SP2), but on my boss's machine (which is, I think, basically
identical to mine), the sizing method doesn't work on IE 7.  The text is too
large, as if the Text Size were set to "Larger."  I checked his browser
settings - the Text Size was set to "Medium" (as it was for my browser).

 

Am I missing something?  We have the same versions of IE, our Text Size
settings are the same, but his browser is rendering the type larger than
mine by an order of magnitude.

 

Thanks,

John
