I never really paid much attention until now but i have always used CSS to define my font size as either 10px or 12px. This seems to be the closest I can get to font size=1 and size=2 without being much different from Mac to PC and Netscape to IE.
What I have realized is that <font size=1> and <font size=2> are the same in IE and Netscape, regardless of whether it is a Mac or a PC. Using px comes across a little too big on Macs and pt is way too small.
I have tried every combination for font-size=:
px - smaller in Netscape on PC than IE, too big on Macs
pt - waaaay too small on Macs
60% or 75% - waaay too small on Mac
size=1 - defaults to pt i think... maybe px... too small
smaller, larger - different among all platforms
Using the <FONT> tags seems to be the only way to get a font the same across the board, but I need to be able to use CSS for site manageablity, so that I dont' have to go find every font tag in the site if I need to change it.
Has anyone found a good solution to this? I need to somehow make the CSS style declaration interpret the size the same as font size=1 or 2.
If not, what are common font setups that you are using for regular site content and for small content? I don't really ever have a need for anything bigger.
Thanks for any help.
