I am serious about the problem of font size. I do believe we
should all be using 100% for main body text and not much smaller
than .85em for other things. But the impression that is given at
alt.html is, imo, a naive one. Using 100% size does call for some
special attention to overall design because such a size often
appears quite big to viewers who themselves (and their browsers)
are conditioned by majority practice. It looks like a sort of
arms race. When just a few people are doing the right thing, they
are the ones that look odd man out, peculiar, gauche. Seems to me
that people or their browsers are mostly set to see the average
bunch of websites which use less than 100% - seemingly stupidly -
as a matter of course. So, given that almost no one knows how to
change the font size (isn't it just a mouse thing in IE Win, at
least in FF there are easy key combos), and given that it would
be nice that they do not have to, it is a slightly complicated
matter in delivering websites, in this respect.
