>From what I know, that's based on the browser and the user prefs. On my Mac, using Firefox latest, there's a Fonts & Colors section of in the prefs under "Content". The default font size out-of-the-box is Times 16.
Anecdote: I have an older friend, in his 60s, that has this set to something like 14px. When I viewed my site on his computer all of the font sizes were terribly small. It ended up that he had tweaked his default font size in Safari. He said he preferred the size and was not open to changing it back to 16. I thought it was odd, because he uses reading glasses to surf the net. The moral of the story is that they end user has the final say when using relative font sizing techniques like setting the font-size to 100% on the html/body elements. Of course, for the gurus out there, please correct me if anything I said (technically) is wrong. :D Cheers, Micky ______________________________________________________________________ css-discuss [css-d@lists.css-discuss.org] http://www.css-discuss.org/mailman/listinfo/css-d List wiki/FAQ -- http://css-discuss.incutio.com/ List policies -- http://css-discuss.org/policies.html Supported by evolt.org -- http://www.evolt.org/help_support_evolt/
