I mean with default CSS, things like and 
 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.
