Just use an absolute font size. You have "smallest! important", but
"smallest" is not a valid font size, and even if it were it would be
ignored because you are not using "!important" correctly. Try using
"xx-small !important" (actually the !important shouldn't even be
necessary.) For information on font sizes, read

If I remember correctly, for a block to have a reliable absolute
position, the containing block should be given "position: relative".
Otherwise, the positioned block could be positioned with respect to
either the containing block (which is correct) or to the page (buggy
browser.)
