Trying different sizes on my laptop, 10pt seems a good compromise. I
actually like the way 9pt looks on my screen, but I tend to prefer
smaller fonts than some other folks, so I suspect that is not the sweet
spot.
I tried to check on my phone, but I think my phone is defaulting to
ignoring the pt size in the document.
Yours,

I have to agree that 12pt produces too large a default. Is there an
easy way for me as a user to experiment with what 10pt would look like,
so I can comment on that? And is there an easy way for me to try that
size on my phone, to see if it seems equally readable there?
Thanks,
Joel

??? You obviously believe that a font size of '1em' or 'medium' is
semantically
more correct than '12pt'. Can you back that up? The CSS 2.1
specification
is very clear about the semantic meaning of point sizes, see Section
4.3.2 of
the CSS 2.1 specifcaiton.
If you don't want to use "1em", please consider "medium", which tells
the browser to use the default size it believes is best based on
defaults and configuration by the user.
That's funny. 'medium' is the default setting, which is what you get
with
1em. Hilarious :-D
Today I thought my browser on my laptop had a bug in it, because it
displayed the draft using insanely big letters and I had to hit ctrl "-"
to bring the size down to something reasonable. Then I noticed this
thread :P
