If you accept the assumption I make below, then quite the contrary.
I'm not interested in accepting your "assumptions" -- I'm looking
for valid evidence; that's the whole point.
A 1280x1024 19" display is ~86.3 DPI. If you are using a browser that floors at
or is fixed to use an assumed 96 DPI (standard doz setting BTW), which more often
than not is the reality, then 12pt should be rendering at
about 17.8px.
Using FF2 on my SuSE 10 desktop, 12pt and 16px Arial upper case "M"
characters render at *exactly* the same height. Measured, not just
theorized.
But we don't have any of that for the "studies" you cite, so how much
can they really be relied on?
Because of their source and apparent nature, it is reasonable to assume
No it's not. It's only "reasonable to assume" if you want to try to
twist the evidence to your way of thinking.
One minute you say you need a whole laundry list of data points to
analyze how "big" a particular font "size" is, and the next minute
you say we can "assume" that a particular study (the conclusion of
which favors your argument) is perfectly valid without all that.
Right.
