This is with no zoom, my normal 22px default: http://members.ij.net/mrmazda/tmp/Images/turner1.png This is at 145% zoom: http://members.ij.net/mrmazda/tmp/Images/turner2.png This is at 150% zoom: http://members.ij.net/mrmazda/tmp/Images/turner3.png The last two are so different yet so similar because they specify the worst possible font on my system, helvetica, a bitmapped font, and no valid alternates. With any scalable font I could have reached my default size for the main content (#homecols dd) at around 135% or 140%. Plus, they're using em for line-height instead of number, eliminating line-spacing at zoom. Looks to me like a typical tables-based layout made without tables. -- "The message of the cross is foolishness to those who are perishing, but to us who are being saved, it is the power of God." 1 Corinthians 1:18 NIV Team OS/2 ** Reg.
