Thank you ever so much for educating me on a critical factor. I have bookmarked the links you posted and will give them some public exposure on the web site I maintain. I'm sure you are aware that many people are coding CSS without specifying relative rather than absolute type sizes. I now understand much better why you were pointing me at the system DPI setting.
I am working on my Windows partitions at the moment (still waiting for a couple of critical app improvements before I can abandon Windows entirely).. But I will check my Linux DPI settings later tonight and report back.
However, a further question regarding the example CSS code on the Mozilla customizing web page: Are millimeter type sizes not absolute as well? Shouldn't that code be edited to reflect relative rather than absolute type sizes. (I realize that "absolute" is probably not the right term here, given the discussion in the linked pages.)
Thank you again. It is always a pleasure to stumble across someone with expertise in an important area. Please feel free to contact me directly by email.
