Of course, pixels are totally the wrong way to use as units: They might save
your layout (if it is bad enough to need it), but they will of course be very
small on some systems (e.g. mine) and very large on others.

Definitely not the solution to the problem of too small fonts!!

(And as I mentioned pribately before, IE5 at least displays fonts given in
absolute units larger than it should, e.g. 9pt fonts (3.1mm) get displayed at
least with 4mm, giving nice pages under windows, but...)

i just wanted to say that the font attribute is deprecated anyway. 
the correct way is to use style sheets or a "style" attribute. if you 
want a specific behavior on your webpage (ie. you don't want to use a 
relative font size). you can specify a font size in pixels ( font-
size: 10px ). the size _should_ be the same in any system.

Hi,
I used px to represent font size (and used font-family : Arial, Helvetica,
sans-serif;) and noticed
slight difference in the way the font was reprsented on NS4.7x and IE (for
Win9x)...

I think I better install Linux and see how it looks under there before
making any final decisions..

Thanks!
Bye!
