Patrick, if you add a line-height: 1.125em; to the .settitle section it fixes the strange overlap on small windows.  The one it inherits from the body section uses a different em, and although you specify it in ems, it's inherited in pixels.  Or in CSS speak, you don't inherit the specified value, but the computed value.  (See the CSS2 spec section 6.1.1 below.  Or, you could just take it out of the body section, but definitely it looks better with it. Here's part of the CSS2 spec that explains it and more (trying to whet your interest so that you'll go to w3c and get your own copy of the spec;) 6.1.1 Specified values User agents must first assign a specified value to each property based on the following mechanisms (in order of precedence):   1. If the cascade [p. 94] results in a value, use it.   2. Otherwise, if the property is inherited [p. 92] and the element is not the root of      the document tree, use the computed value of the parent element.   3. Otherwise use the property’s initial value. The initial value of each property is      indicated in the property’s definition. 6.1.2 Computed values Specified values are resolved to computed values during the cascade; for example URIs are made absolute and ’em’ and ’ex’ units are computed to pixel or absolute lengths. Computing a value never requires the user agent to render the document.   The computed value of URIs that the UA cannot resolve to absolute URIs is the specified value.   When the specified value is not ’inherit’, the computed value of a property is determined as specified by the Computed Value line in the definition of the property. See the section on inheritance [p. 92] for the definition of computed values when the specified value is ’inherit’.   The computed value exists even when the property doesn’t apply, as defined by the ’Applies To’ [p. 25] line. However, some properties may define the computed value of a property for an element to depend on whether the property applies to that element. 6.1.3 Used values Computed values are processed as far as possible without formatting the document. Some values, however, can only be determined when the document is being laid out. For example, if the width of an element is set to be a certain percentage of its containing block, the width cannot be determined until the width of the containing block has been determined. The used value is the result of taking the computed value and resolving any remaining dependencies into an absolute value. 6.1.4 Actual values A used value is in principle the value used for rendering, but a user agent may not be able to make use of the value in a given environment. For example, a user agent may only be able to render borders with integer pixel widths and may therefore have to approximate the computed width, or the user agent may be forced to use only black and white shades instead of full colour. The actual value is the used value after any approximations have been applied.
