Only older versions of Opera. I think it was fixed back in v7.

No it won't. It will set it to 12px in mine because 12px is my minimum
font size. Even if I disabled that setting it would set it to 9px
(rounded up from 8.75px) because my browser default is 14px not the
16px that you assume 'all browsers' have.

That makes no sense. 63px is 63px, did you mean 63%?

100% should always be 14px for me, and should always be whatever your
default size is for you, and whatever Bob's default size is for him.
Apart from making the text resizable in IE you have removed all the
advantages of using percentages.

You're still making mistakes, you still need to make the switch to
using percentages in a user friendly fashion.
