Interesting. As an avid typophile -- and someone who still, admittedly, has a lot to learn about CSS -- I've been trying to follow any and all threads on the subject of fonts/typography over these last months (since I joined the list). Perhaps I missed something, but your comment above makes me wonder about a couple of things... Firstly, from past threads, my understanding is that one shouldn't be going any smaller than 100% -- or at least should try not to -- if only to be in keeping with whatever it is that any particular user has set their own settings at, so wouldn't going as small as 69% (or whatever) be *too* small? Secondly -- and perhaps more importantly -- in recommending those specific percentages, are you saying that things go funny in some browser or platform if those exact percentages aren't used -- like if I used, say, 76% or 85% or something? And what about for percentages higher than 100% (for headings or whatever)? Ron :?
