Let me guess:  You are using IE on Windows?  Probably with the big system
font setting as well?  IE comes with too big default font sizes.  You just
have to adjust them and keep a reasonable adjustment as default.  If your
default font sizes are too big it is not a flaw of the site but of the
defaults of your browser.

As mentioned in aprevious post, IE on Windows handling of CSS is badly
broken.  Don't even try to fix it, you will just break every other browser
on the way.  Your site does not depend on font sizes for layout, so it is no
big deal that they appear bigger.  Perhaps in five years of so M$ will fix
their Windows version as well (the Mac version works properly using what is
supposed to be the same layout engine!)...

  I noticed this recently, on the iMac of a client, even with other M$ 
applications... isn't strange? I mean, why the hell would anyone want their 
apps. to work better on a competitor OS? ...hmmmm... really strange.

No, it isn't. Mac IE has a separate codebase from Windows IE and uses a 
different rendering engine.. it's more like a rewrite than a port.

Even so, the Mac version still misinterprets CSS in places (some of 
which are very annoying). Mozilla is probably still your best bet for 
correct rendering.

Well, I changed a couple of "small" to "smaller" and it seems that IE
interprets that one correctly (that is, really make the font smaller than
the default for this block). I haven't had the chance to see it with Mozilla,
but I suppose there shouldn't be any difference there.
  Thinking about it, using "smaller" instead of "small" is better, as the
former is a relative font size while the latter is an absolute one. The
former does not depend on which size is the default in the browser.

  I will probably add a navigation bar at the top of the page.
  I wonder if there's any way in CSS to make the position of an item
fixed. This way the navigation bar would be fixed at the top of the
viewing area independently of where you are in the page itself (this is
imho a much better option than using frames). I faintly remember seeing
some pages do this.

    Yes, IE 6.0, Win2K. However, the text on every other site I visit is
just fine. If it were the browser, surely I'd've noticed it on other sites
by now (I do a fair a bit of web-surfing).

Makes sense now, thanks. I thought it could have been some CSS issue.

Yes. Try "position:fixed".

Oh, I see. Great.

I was curious so I looked for something that might be worthwhile and found
this:

Maybe you could get a similar thing worked into your CSS?
