I just want to point out that I get really irritated when css- and html-authors try to change the size of the normal text for screen display. I have set the size I prefer in my browser and smaller (which is the most common case on mac and unix, authors set font="1") makes it hard or impossible to read, bigger is to no good and just waste of screen space. As the author don't know the font-size used by the viewer for normal text, it's not a good idea to use fixed size for headers etc either. There is no way to know how much smaller/bigger it gets. Use font-sizes relative to the normal text (em or %) instead. Thanks! -- Christian Ottosson http://www.f.kth.se/~f95-cot/
