Hi,
A much overlooked issue with px based fonts is that users of IE5/Win and IE6/Win cannot increase/decrease the font size if the style sheet implements them with pixel values.
I recommend going to a relative sizing scheme.
Benifits:
- IE/Win can now increase/decrease text size
- style sheets become easier to maintain when using relative sizing (using em's or %)
As an illustration for relative sizing:
body {
color: #1E3607;
font-family: Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;
font-size: small;
}
h1 {
font-size: 120%;
}
etc...
Cheers,
Dominique
