			<content type="html"><![CDATA[OK, it is now set at .75em (may need to press F5 to get it to refresh) until someone with more authority makes the call.  I don't think we will have 1em font, it's just to big.  I could look into making a profile option to increase font size, but no promises.

Edit: Dr Neo Lao, you could try the [url=http://urandom.ca/nosquint/]No Squint[/url] pluggin for Firefox, it can remember zoom levels for sites]]></content>

EDIT: [url=http://www.majhost.com/gallery/BertL/stuff2/looksgreat.jpg]This[/url] is what it looks like when I posted this. I dunno about you guys, but it looks pretty great on my monitor.

EDIT 2: Hmm, [url=http://www.majhost.com/gallery/BertL/stuff2/looksnotgreat.jpg]this[/url] is what it looks like after the edit. It's a wee bit too big for my taste.]]></content>

			<content type="html"><![CDATA[Well I have not looked into the forums CSS much, but I do not believe that the main font size is 100%, it looks like it is 
[code]
font: 75%/1.5em Verdana, Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif;
[/code]
I did not make this style sheet and it is not the most strait forward thing ever created.  Just changed some stuff, it is now .8em (.75em seems to be the same as 75%/1.5em), 1em looks really huge on my 1920x1200 24" monitor, right now the font size seems to match other sites I use (Twitter, Gmail)]]></content>

			<content type="html"><![CDATA[Firefox is what I use, and I can specify what I want the default size to be, but if I make it bigger to read BiM, then it makes every other site that I look at bigger as well.

I'll have to look up the "100%" font declaration and see how it works.]]></content>

			<content type="html"><![CDATA[I don't know how much this affects everyone else, but I have a hard time reading the text here at BiM.

I looked in the css and it says "font-size: 100%;".

I don't know how that is meant to work, presumably it is either part of xhtml or web2.0 framework. I'm used to having sites specify their text in either pixel size or em size. When it is in pixel size (getting rarer now) it can't be changed. When it is set as en em declaration then the browser will disiplay the font at a good size for me. 

But when I look at BiM, it is pretty hard to read after a while.

My resolution is 1440 x 900.]]></content>
