Hi Thanks for all the insightful feedback.

I have a very limited freedom on this particular project. A previous version was done quite messy and it seemed time were waste quite a lot, so I was brought in to fix, clean up the code, but the end- client wanted the fontsize stays the same. The problem I am facing now, is that in Opera Mac version, fontsize in every element is 2 pixel bigger than other browsers, the PC version stays consistent.

Here are the basic codes for font size adopted from the previous version and I am not allowed to touch it.

body {font-size: 62.5%}
#nav li {font-size: 1em} /*10px */
p {font-size: 1em} /*10px */
h2  {font-size: 1.2em} /*12px */
h3  {font-size: 1.1em}

no specific declaration is made for IE, but there is no issue there as far as consistency concerned. Mac version Opera makes everything 2 pixel larger. It looks fine and acceptable for the content area (nobody seems to care how this browser render the fontsize as long as the layout looks the same and thing doesn't fall apart) but because the navigation tab is a bit crowded, thus making the last tab drops to next line. And this is the problem I need to fix, I suggested a change to 100.1% in the body and adjust other element accordingly because from my experience, I know I can get a better result for Mac version Opera. No, can't do it because I can't touch the fontsize if it affects the size in other elements.

What I don't understand is, why the Mac version Opera behaves so erratic. My guess is the 62.5% causing the problem.
