On a website I've recently developed (www.cabotconsultants.com.au) I opted
for this...

p.body {
   font-family: Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;
   font-size: x-small;
   color: #036;
   margin-left: 18px;
   margin-right: 18px;
   line-height: 2;
}

I found it's clean and clear. Just wondering... What is the difference of
using the percentage font-size as opposed to the preset "medium, small,
x-small, etc" sizes? Are these 'preset' sizes still relative to the body
user defined font size?


Cheers
Darian
