As you remember, the OP was > whining how Mozilla's font zoom made his site look "incorrect". No, the 'OP' (me) was writing that it made the (standards compliant) site unusable in a browser that was adhering to the spec -- is that off-topic? If a spec allows for something that will make something unusable, might that spec be flawed? Also, since I can't remember the last time this 'OP' used px, I had confusion over the fact in CSS that a pixel is not a pixel. My apologies. -Rob > Pointing > to CSS3 specification isn't going to help his problem, is it? > > After saying that, I'm aware that this list isn't for end user nor page > author support.
