Ah, a misunderstanding of terminology. I thought "minimum font-size
settings" referred to things like Firefox's preference setting for
disallowing fonts, even when resized by the user, to fall below a
certain fixed size...while in this case y'all seem to mean the default
font size.
We better clear up the terminology then.
- 'minimum font size' is the user-option most browsers except IE have,
as you describe. It works differently in those browsers that have this
option, and the preset value varies.
- 'default font size' is most often referred to as the "medium",
"normal" or "100%" font size, which can also be changed by the user in
most browsers. Most browsers today also change their preset default(s)
based on screen-DPI - one way or another.
The combination of altered 'minimum font size' and 'default font size'
can create some interesting results for some unprepared pages with
unnecessary complex font-sizing.
Back to Tee's problem with 'body {font-size: 62.5%}' etc in Opera/Mac.
It may be caused by the preset value for 'minimum font size' in that
browser/OS.
If someone can check the preset value for 'minimum font size' in an
unaltered Opera/Mac, as I set mine to '14px' years ago and have since
just updated it, and I can't remember the preset value. Now I can't even
check Tee's problem, because my Mac is off-line.
