I think I understand your reply...



do you have friends who do not use javascript?  what happens if you get 
a handicapped non-js-[browser-user?



The point is there are many issues.  IMHO the best thing that can be 
done is build to the design (which hopefully includes accessibility 
features).

javascript to decide which css.



Using px you get the most appropriate representation - pixel perfect.
The problem is the user can't bump up the font size on their own, which
is your problem, huh?

Which do others prefer (if this is not too off-topic)? I am of the

opinion that the designer should design to pixel precision but take 
into

account poor vision (give user ability to change CSS if desired).

One suggestion for your site (others may disagree).  Your CSS uses pts

for

font sizing.  This causes your text to be nearly unreadable on my

larger high

res monitor viewed by my deficient old eyes.  Check out use of EM and

EX for

CSS font sizing... you'll get a much better result than using PTS or 
PX.

Also, to ensure a consistent experience across browsers, use a

javascript to

load browser specific stylesheets (this allows you to maximize on CSS

while

compensating for each browser maker's shortfalls).  The javascript is

just a

browser sniffer with a bunch of document.writes that output the

appropriate

css link.  You can get extreme with it if you like and do screen res

detection to load res specific stylesheets (rem stylesheets can 
include

additional external stylesheets).



Hope this was useful,
Richard
