Jochem - You not had the problem of M$ changing default font sizes in different versions of windows? IT departments have enough problems with INSTALLING an upgrade without asking them to CHANGE the font size as well :) The complaint from THIS site was that they could not log out because the 'logout' button was hidden - selecting a size smaller font on the browser fixes the problem, but we have to add a scroll bar to the menu because "They can't change from the default settings" :(

Yeah font sizes are a pain... tip of the day: Don't put and XML preamble in if you are using XHTML and get your doctypes right. Once you do that, the font size problems are a lot easier to address.

indeed they are a pain, properly validating strict xHTML is the start of making it manageable, other part is defining suitable style sheets that fix the problem. plenty of eggheads offer blogs posts/articles etc that define the issues and offer cross-browser font-size solutions. IE font-size hell is exactly that, but there is no reason to have to pass it on to the client ... going through M$Hell is our job ;-)
