I think I understand your reply...

do you have friends who do not use javascript? what happens if you get a handicapped non-js-[browser-user?

The point is there are many issues. IMHO the best thing that can be done is build to the design (which hopefully includes accessibility features).

What is wrong with using px for font-sizes? Then you don't have to use
javascript to decide which css.

Using px you get the most appropriate representation - pixel perfect.
The problem is the user can't bump up the font size on their own, which
is your problem, huh?

Which do others prefer (if this is not too off-topic)? I am of the
opinion that the designer should design to pixel precision but take into
account poor vision (give user ability to change CSS if desired).

You've done a lot in a fairly brief time. You should be proud of
yourself.
One suggestion for your site (others may disagree). Your CSS uses pts
for
font sizing. This causes your text to be nearly unreadable on my
larger high
res monitor viewed by my deficient old eyes. Check out use of EM and
EX for
CSS font sizing... you'll get a much better result than using PTS or PX.
Also, to ensure a consistent experience across browsers, use a
javascript to
load browser specific stylesheets (this allows you to maximize on CSS
while
compensating for each browser maker's shortfalls). The javascript is
just a
browser sniffer with a bunch of document.writes that output the
appropriate
css link. You can get extreme with it if you like and do screen res
detection to load res specific stylesheets (rem stylesheets can include
additional external stylesheets).

Hope this was useful,
Richard

other
XML based languages, the site is nowhere near finished but I'm hoping
to do
so real soon! Please send your comments on the design and goals of the
