Hello, There is now at least 2 browsers (Chrome 8.0.552.224 and Konqueror 4.5.5; I have not checked with Safari 5.0.3 yet) which will fail testcases where the pass condition relies on rendering 'font-size: 0'. One example (but there are a bunch of others) failed by Chrome 8 and Konqueror 4.5.5: http://test.csswg.org/suites/css2.1/20101210/html4/font-size-001.htm Konqueror 4.5.5 (minimal font-size) can not and will not go below a font-size: 2pt (rounded up to 3px). It is kind of weird to have browsers fail testcases because they can not go below a 3px font-size and they can not render appropriately a 'font-size: 0' declaration. Font-size should always be about readability to begin with. FWIW, " Note 1. To preserve readability, a UA applying these guidelines should nevertheless avoid creating font-size resulting in less than 9 pixels per EM unit on a computer display.
