I understand what you're saying, but specifying font sizes in pixels *does* guarantee that things will look *proportionally* the same, regardless of browser/platform. If I specify my font sizes as: 9px, 14px, 23px, 37px, etc. ...then that's what they'll be, no matter what resolution, browser or platform the user is on, and things will all look *proportionally* exactly how I want them. With that said, however, I do understand all the issues with using px instead of percentages (or em) -- but again, this is just my frustration. >One day, when the average screen resolution is well above 300dpi, Well, a 300dpi monitor is certainly another reason to *not* go with px, that's for sure!
