Hello Brian,

Using Firebug to check out the google SERP they use 13px "Arial, san-serif"
Your page happens to be calling for 13px "Helvetica Neue",Arial,sans-serif

The "Helvetica Neue" is visually a smaller font at 13px than Arial is at 13px.

Anyone without "Helvetica Neue" on their computer will see the pages
the same. For those of us with "Helvetica Neue" we see a smaller
looking font.

I would be so happy if there was a mechanism (other than javascript)
to change the font-size depending upon which font is selected. It
would be so nice to fudge the font-sizes to compensate for the fact
that different fonts have different visual sizes at the same numeric
font-size.

Regards,
Claude Needham
