Re: Smaller font : Lets question the CSS experts then...

Sent by Wildranger222222 on 24 October 2004 14:02


Part of my information is based on what some very talented and seasoned css  
people have placed online and published for the css community. I guess its up  
to the CSS community (and the browsers) to decide whats realistic  as far as 
"respecting user preferences" and font sizing in CSS:
