I've got the following html and css
In Firefox the computed font size is 16.66667px
In Chrome the computed font size is 13px
Needless to say there is a good bit of difference in these two sizes, one is too small to read, one is nicely sized. I guess one way to work around it is to set the font size to 16.67px but why is this the case.
<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.01//EN">
<html>
<head>
<title>My first styled page</title>
<style type="text/css">
body {
font-family: Arial, sans-serif;
font-size: 10pt;
}
</style>
</head>
<body>
This is some text.
</body>
</html>
All my measurements come from inspect element (using firebug in firefox)
