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

I tend to agree - I'm a fan of the

p, .etc
{
        font-size: 0.75em;
        line-height 1.5;
}
I forgot to mention that it's probably a good idea (from a usability POV)
to
declare:
body {font-size: 100%;} /* user defined default size */

... and relate the rest from there.
