[thelist] Weird font size difference in FF on OSX

[Stuart Young]

thanks for your replies,

>..or does she mean the font size used in images?

No, definately the text.

> Have you actually seen the site on her computer?
> Perhaps you could get her to send you a screen shot if not.

No you're right, I haven't - she has seen screenshots of what I see, but I
haven't seen what she sees.

> How exactly were you able to determine her's is larger?

Aha, you may have a point, the only reason I know that the text is "larger"
is because she says that it is, and that if she reduces the font size in
Firefox (either through View -> Text Size -> Decrease, or through reducing
the base font size from 16 to 14 in the Content tab in Options/Preferences)
then the website appears "as she intended".

It sure looks like the problem is...

This is likely because she has the uncommon fonts on her computer because
she is the designer that designed the thing. I just have normal consumer
computer fonts installed.

thanks again.
