Sorry, Andy, you're late; you posted that the 3rd of April, not the 1st.

This avoids a desktop font scaling bug in IE on the majority of modern
desktops

It's an absurd second guess that claims that the user is all wrong (by 20%),
_whatever_ he has done.

It's worse than that. A default (12pt/16px) windoz character box has 256
discrete px. A windoz "large fonts" default (12pt/20px) character box has
400 discrete px. That makes the text size result of Andy's styles smaller by
36%. http://mrmazda.no-ip.com/auth/area80.html
