So... (new) listers looking for help, might need to know what
'properly configured browser' is. If most users don't change a thing
when they install a browser, or change the one that came with their
PC, then what's properly configured mean? People should keep
_default_ configuration in mind. Out-of-the-box viewing scenarios.
No?
With around 1 billion web users spread over a number of basic (default)
packages, and at least a few million variations to those packages in
daily use, there is no such thing as a reliable base to design on/for.
Might be possible to find some sort of average scenario, but that's all.
When it comes to font-size, the only rules one may find is that it isn't
smart to set it too low or to try to "fix" it. Layouts simply have to
be able to cope with a large range of font-size variations, or they will
break.
