Larger than FF2 and Konqueror 3.5.9 for sure.  I don't think I've tried
going back to IW2.

http://compmed.com/index.php  (site I am building still seen as under
construction by public).  I did notice that I am using <h1> tag for this
and I don't specify the font.  I also notice that Konqueror gives me a
sans-serif font while other browsers give me serif, including IE6 on
another machine which doesn't show the size problem.  I'm guessing that
specifying the <h1> will probably make the problem go away but I think
this thread is still worth following.

This one may not be accurate.  I'm not sure if this is where the config
info is stored because of a long and varied browser installation
history.  "locate prefs.js" shows a lot  a number of possibilities like
/usr/local/firefox...

paul@bliss:~$ grep 'font\.\|css\.dpi' ~/.mozilla/firefox/*.default/prefs.js
user_pref("font.minimum-size.x-western", 10);
user_pref("font.size.variable.x-western", 18);
user_pref("webdeveloper.edit.font.size", 12);
user_pref("webdeveloper.generated.content.font.size", 12);


Thanks very much,
