@WebJoelJan 18.2008 — Every browser has a different idea of what a font-size should be. Usually, it helps to first state all font sizes (p, h1, h2, h3, h4, h5, h6) as "font-size:0;" then, re-state each of them to a desired unified default size.

And line-height sometimes needs to be re-set this too, if you are experienced layout-critical problems with how close sentences are to each other.

And the universal selector (" [B]* {margin:0; padding:'} [/B]") should be your first line of CSS: it removes the default margin & padding that browsers (IE) add to everything. You need then to re-state any margins or paddings for any elements, but that is easy enough to do..

@drhowarddrfineJan 18.2008 — 16px is the usual default font size.

I don't see any font size differences.

@CentauriJan 18.2008 — Font size looks the same in both browsers to me as well - both too small .....

@WebJoelJan 18.2008 — I have to admit that I, too, saw no appreciable font-size difference when I visited the site... (and agree, font was a bit too small my my taste & comfort)..

@Baby_JaiauthorJan 19.2008 — yeah i fixed it, i had some php head tag in there that was messing it up in IE, well thanks for all your help, and if i make the font size bigger, it doesnt fit well with the scheme of things

@CentauriJan 20.2008 — So, people being able to read it doesn't fit well with the scheme of things ?

Seems to look ok to me if I increase text size in FF.,..
