Memo from Martin P Burns of PricewaterhouseCoopers

Hi Calum

Ideally, you'd want to keep content & presentation a bit more
separate than that, preferably using stylesheets.

For online use, as em doesn't work, the next best solution
is to use px:
http://evolt.org/article/Browser_testing_list/20/548/index.html

Of course, some printers interpret this rather literally - 10px
on a 1200dpi printer isn't very legible. So for printable templates,
you need to use pt.

And neither of these are user-scalable via browser, so the next
workaround is to provide something like:
http://evolt.org/article/mumtheresadead/22/253/index.html (ASP)
http://evolt.org/article/bishoponthelanding/17/4415/index.html (Perl)

Cheers
Martin

While % are fine with very careful use, <BIG> and <SMALL> are the easiest
way to size fonts safely.  :-(
