I mean with default CSS, things like <tt></tt> and <pre></pre> just looked completly different (bigger) than the rest if one uses a minimum size of 12 or 10 for the fonts. It's what I tried to fix. Regarding the overall size, I choosed an "average" solution, i.e. not too small not too big, but it's not possible to please every browser, screen resolution, etc, it's why I gave up. Anyway, when I see http://people.freebsd.org/~blackend/gnome.png it's difficult for me to not think there's something weird with the font definition. Marc
