Here's a longer list (not updated for a while, so some sites may have had facelifts). Mouseover produces a titletip describing font sizing method and/or date I last visited on most: http://mrmazda.no-ip.com/shame.html > Microsoft > http://www.microsoft.com/en/us/default.aspx > body {font-size: 70%; } Probably many take their lead from this bad example. :-p If M$'s browser's default is wrong, M$ should make it default to something else. Making body text the same size as the system/browser UI text is wrong. The UI is little bits of familiar territory. Most web pages are anything but. > BBC > http://www.bbc.co.uk/home/d/ > body {font-size: 62.5%} http://www.bbc.co.uk/ was recently overhauled. It used to be 13px. Here's a look at before: http://mrmazda.no-ip.com/SS/bbcSS.html > Web Standards Project > http://www.webstandards.org/ > body {font: 72%/160%} :-( It's all too common that sites purporting to promote accessibility think everyone's default is too big, and don't practice what they preach. One that does the latter: http://www.w3.org/QA/Tips/font-size -- "The path of the righteous is like the first gleam of dawn, shining ever brighter till the full light of day."
