Uniform Font Sizes Across Different Browsers? A Pipe-Dream?

[vozzek]

Simple question:

Can anyone suggest the "best" way to size fonts using css that will allow for consistent size between I.E. and Firefox? And Safari too, I suppose.

Some of the fonts on my site look so much bigger in IE than they do in Firefox. Yet I can go to other websites on IE and Firefox and see fonts looking the same, so it can't be my browser configurations.

What gives?

There is a View->Text size in browsers. Make sure all your browsers have normal settings.

If not, then show some test page where the problem could be scene.

The problem, as always, is with IE. IE does not size fonts properly. How are you sizing your text? Try adding this to your css:
body{font-size:100%}
