Hi there,

My original question (see below) - loong time ago.

It has taken me some time to quite figure out what's going on with browsers
that users can alter their font settings in.

The trouble is:
> On Mac Firefox doesn't obey my font size settings, they are in px's.
> The first line below images should be a smaller font size.
> In the Red menu in the right hand column the font size is too big so the

All though I assigned a class to control a long list of links:

..featmenu { font-size: 10px }
.featmenu a:link { color: red; font-family: Verdana, Arial, Geneva,
Helvetica, sans-serif; text-decoration: underline; }
<snip>

It toke awhile to figure out that what I needed was:

body { font-size: 10px; margin: 0; padding: 0; }
..featmenu { font-family: Verdana, Arial, Geneva, Helvetica, sans-serif; }
..featmenu a {font-size: 10px;}

And bingo, the font size no longer can be altered by the user.

I put up a small test page for font sizes to view the alterations in the
user prefs.

If you like to play.

My conclusion is:
That when you work with a static layout and want to ensure that the pages
looks almost alike cross browsers, you have to use pixels.

So Gary, thank you for leading me on track. Only thing with your solution is
that layouts can be fucked up if users tangle with the prefs for font-size.

Martin, thank you for the image capture thing I changed that one. Not as you
suggested, instead I created a new class.
