It really depends on your particular system's configuration. I've got good eyes, but my preferred font (Garamond) reads best at 12-14 points as my display(s) are configured. ...which again calls for: the user should be able to specify font size, to whatever arbitrary extent possible and override *all* website directives in this regard. To this extent, the CSS spec is severely flawed in that it grants precedence to website author, not reader. This is bass ackwards. Peace. -- Karsten M.
