have you any suggestions on that front?
in web design and the way the viewer can set font limits, i don't
think there is a *norm*. setting your font size to 100% in the
body and then using ems or percentages to "shrink" font size is
what i would recommend.
That's what I've been doing.
what are the downsides of this approach?
who do they affect? how are they affected.
(I'm slightly hazy on the whole user set browser defaults thing,
there seem to be a number of options including application
preferences and user stylesheets. and a combination of minimum fonts,
ignore all fonts and larger/smaller text settings in IE)
so, what happens if a user has their default font set larger than the
browser default in this case?
conversely what happens if they have set their default smaller than
the manufacturer shipped settings?
Maybe Felix explained it, but I didn't understand it, can someone
just make it simple, so I can judge the merit of this pragmatism?
