Absolute font sizes

[kissanpoika]

Hi,

The first draft of my site is slowly getting there but one thing is bugging me.
I was wondering why in the css table the font sizes are relative rather than absolute? When I look at my site in Firefox the font sizes look tiny compared to IE. I understand from an accessibility point of view it's preferable to use relative sizing but I'm tempted to change the css to absolute values unless I can work out why the font is so much smaller in Firefox.

Any thoughts?

Thanks!

I went from relative (small) to absolute (px) and now back to percentages (%) ... percentages handle more favourably between browser types and allow scaling for accessability if someone sets their browser to use larger fonts
