Sharon...

Still haven't got the hang of mailing to the list, yet... but I do have an
answer on pixels as they pertain to fonts. Text sizes vary between platforms
but there are 2 workarounds if it is absolutely essential they look the
same.

Option 1:
Use pixels for font size. They render fairly predictably across platforms
ON-SCREEN. The drawback to this solution is that they will not PRINT
consistently. Sometimes they won't print at all or with ultra tiny text.

Option 2:
Use ems and JavaScript to serve up different stylesheets for each platform.
The Web Monkey has a good write-up on this. See:

Firstly I am off to change the font type to a "standard" font. Secondly I am
going to try and read up on working with pixels instead of percentages. And
of course learn more about tables as I really don't know much about them.
