CSS Font Size Strategy
Submitted by Aaron Longwell on Thu, 2005-06-16 11:26.I prefer a font size strategy based on percentage modifiers. This strategy works pretty reliably across platforms, and it preserves the functionality of browser font resizing (unlike a pixel-based method).
In a base.css stylesheet, I define the following rules:
body {
font-family: "Trebuchet MS", Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif;
font-size: 100.01%;
}
p, table {
font-size: 75.01%;
}
