The only thing that comes to mind: what is the preference setting for
the font size in your friends browser ? Default is 16px. When I check
your page in my Chimera (0.6), it displays the same as in Mozilla.
Changing the preferences to 12px font-size, and then yes, you'll have
that very small thing. Idem for any other browser.
You start with
body {
font-size: 90%;
} /* this means 90% of the default font-size */
and then this
p {
font: 0.8em
} /*or 80% of the font-size specified in body, becomes fairly small */
