Attached is a patch that attempts to make all font sizes relative to the
browser's default base font size (which is what the user can be expected
to have chosen to suit their particular needs).

They are compatible, but they do not guarantee identical rendering in
different browsers. Neither do absolute font size units. It is almost
impossible to get exactly the same looks with every browser. Nor should
that be a goal for a functional site such as the PTS (as opposed to a
site that is a replacement for paper ads).
For example, different browsers might have different font configurations
(different base font size, different restrictions on minimum font size),
or they might be using different fonts, or different versions of the the
font libraries, or different widget libraries, all of which may result
in text being rendered differently.
