Sorry -- got cut off for illegal tag use... Thanks for the input. So far, between this forum, our own internal testing and what I've found on the web, the breakdown seems to be (as unscientific as it is):
1.0em/100%/16px :: 5 0.9em (~14px)/14px :: 4 0.8em (~13px)/13px :: 10 0.75em/75%/12px :: 11 10-12px :: 3 <10px :: 1 Obviously, so far 12-13px seems to be the standard. Of course, there is a lot of discussion about much of it depending on WHICH font you use, too. We're restricted to just the two, so I have to focus on those. @Coryndon - our target audience is the 25-55 range, so 12 or 13px equiv. is probably fine. Especially since we are using the text re-sizer (which people seem to hate on this forum) to accommodate for larger sizes. @Keith - I've advocated for relational sizes for years, but it took a couple forward-thinking developers to make the switch from set px sizes. Now we use % or ems for all of our development. @Chauncey and gfritts - again, we have to take the average, because our audience is fairly broad. The content on this particular project is mostly informational with some rather long pages, which has caused some 'scroll length' concerns (although I'm less concerned with that than the amount of information being above the fold at 1024x768). . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .
