This is certainly not authoritative information, but... As I understand it, Firefox intentionally "shrinks" the fonts because that's what IE does and, therefore, lots of websites use bigger fonts than they should. Or, the sequence of events was the other way around, i.e., as people built lots of webpages with oversized fonts, Microsoft changed IE (bit by bit?) to "shrink" them. I'm not really sure this information will help to improve the situation or not. Personally, I think that Firefox has become sufficiently pervasive on Windows that they could "dial it back" towards being more standards compliant. When I say, "I want that to be 11 points," I usually really do mean it. Of course, I can already hear a big discussion both ways on this one. -- Lamont Peterson <lamont@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx [ http://lamontpeterson.org/ ] GPG Key fingerprint: C51E DD83 B03F D147 A974 939C 5D13 289C 17F1 FFBE
