Hi! I read a lot of threads about font-sizing lately, but I still did not catch the point of best practice yet.
I use to set the body font-size to 62.5% for getting 1em = 10px at default settings. (It's much easier for me and the browser to calculate round values...) Then I increase the font-size on the elements that contain text. (But usually just by the factor 1.2... yes, I'm feeling guilty...) So if a user sets another preferred font-size, my hole layout will adjust to that value, but of course the text won't be at the size, the user chose, but a bit smaller. He would be able to set a minimum font-size and the hole layout will adjust to his preference. On the other hand, I don't know anyone who changed the default font-size in his/her browser, but lot's of people (mostly designers) who prefer smaller font-sizes. Well, the question is: Which group of people is more important? Or better: Is there a way to please both groups? regards Martin @Felix: I sent you the mail in CC because I'm very interested in your thoughts about this topic. TIA for your contributions to the thread. ****************************************************** The discussion list for http://webstandardsgroup.org/ See http://webstandardsgroup.org/mail/guidelines.cfm for some hints on posting to the list & getting help ******************************************************
