I'm also late to the party, but I wanted to add something that no one
else seems to have mentioned -- font-size-adjust (from CSS 2, but
removed -- alas! -- from CSS 2.1 due to lack of support).
It is part of CSS 3
<http://www.w3.org/TR/css3-fonts/#font-size-props>
...
Now, the (rather substantial) disadvantage:
As far as I can tell[3], font-size-adjust is only supported in
recent Gecko browsers (e.g. Firefox 2).
And for Firefox 2.0.0.x, only on Windows. But fear not, It is
supported on all platforms in the upcoming Firefox 3.0. Cool.
It is a very useful feature to produce decent quality text. Not only
for the described case above, but also for example for the case where
you have different fonts used within the same block of text (e.g. a
paragraph with some <code> in).
(decent quality text: because typography on the web is still a far
cry from what it should be).
Which leads me to my last question (on this topic, anyway):
How can we encourage the other (non-Mozilla) browser manufacturers
to add support for this very useful feature?
1. By using it ?
2. File bugs against your favourite Rendering Engine
(I don't need to, It is already supported in my browser...:-))
for WebKit, it is bug 15257
http://bugs.webkit.org/show_bug.cgi?id=15257
To my surprise, nobody had requested that when I filed that bug.
