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.
