Why not simple use the default font size? It's what the user asked for... e.g. 10pts is unreadable for me. The problem isn't user style sheet et al, but resolution and screen quality plus user preference. Like, I prefer small text in print but large text on screen...Boris Zbarsky wrote:Ben S wrote:if I want it to be the same size across all browsersI'm sorry, but this is not achievable in any case (think text zoom, user stylesheets, etc).Well, I know these things can be overridden - and this is a good thing - but I am just trying to cater for the most common situation. Obviously if people have the text zoomed in to 150%, I expect it to be larger than normal, but I'd also like it to be approximately 50% bigger than it normally is on all browsers ;)If this is your design goal, I would suggest using PDF instead of HTML.... This especially holds true for x-small and such, which are expicitly stated in the spec to be scaled based on the user's default font size (which the user can set in preferences).Ok then, I suppose I will just set it as 10pt or something and hope for the best. I expect that anyone with severe accessibility problems will be using a user style-sheet anyway.
In short: Use em for font size :-D Thank you. Don't try to write a book on the web --- write a web page.
