If I have understood you correctly, then the answer is: it depends on
the browser, the browser-options used _and_ what's in the stylesheet.
IE/win, any version:
- font-sizes in absolute units rule - unless IE is set to 'ignore
font-sizes.
- resizable fonts in the stylesheet means the browsers _and_ the
stylesheet work together. IE starts at whatever font size the user
has chosen - of the 5 levels available.
Most other browsers start at default - using what's in the
stylesheet. The user can then resize, in some browsers until the
browser choke and give up its spirit - needing a restart :-)
Options like 'minimum font size' will take immediate effect and
override what's in the stylesheet.
Also, add in browsers default-variations based on resolution.
regards
Georg
