Once he understands that this is the right thing to assume everyone has

trouble, . . .
I have many clients and most of them have no idea about resetting the
default size, and as for *their* clients - the web site commissioning
businessman - even fewer understand there's a choice of browsers, let
alone settings you can fiddle with...
I wish there were a way to collect data on how users have set font-size
in their browsers, we'd have some better facts then...
. . . there's no need to set anything other than 100% on body, which
also means no need to set anything at all on body.
unfortunately leaving body font-size unset and setting a sub 1em size on
text, e.g 0.8em will allow IE6 to produce miniscule fonts at "view text
smallest" so I guess I'll just stick to
body {font-size: 100%}
to prevent IE6 going daft.
That leaves the size of various elements that the design requires be
contextually sized, like captions, footers and headings, to be sized by
any appropriate relative sizing method, % & em included.
cool. I've got used to ems, so will persist.
thanks all.
