No, not now. I'm still reading all the links that Felix and others
sent me. But besides my first attempt to put all this in a few lines
of text, nothing happened.

I hope that someone will add to my points:

- Don't reduce the main font-size to less than 80% of the default
  font-size. Try to keep it at 100% for the main text.

- Specify font-size in relative units (em or %) to give the user
  control over the font-size.

- Let the layout grow/shrink with the font-size or ensure that there
  is enough space to enlarge the font-size to 150%.

regards

  Martin
