Take a look at Yahoo yui font-reset css. It sets everything to zero so you never have padding or sizing issues.
http://developer.yahoo.com/yui/reset/ "The foundational YUI Reset CSS file creates a level playing field across A-grade browsers and provides a sound foundation upon which you can explicitly declare your intentions. It normalizes the default rendering of all HTML elements, for example it sets margin, padding, and border to 0, font sizes to YUI Font's default, italic and bold styles to normal, and list-style to none."
