There is one thing that really pushes my buttons, one thing that is sure to send me off on a rant on life, the universe, and everything. I have a 21" widescreen 1680x1050 display - which might not be large to some of the real geeks in here, but to me, it's pretty huge. With so much screen real estate, why oh why do my friends all still insist on maximising every window they come across when they sit down behind my computer? This - and more - is the subject of the latest post on Microsoft's Engineering 7 weblog.

What is supposed to happen when you put a 'font-size: 81%" for body and then proceed to use a lot of 'font-size: 0.8em' for individual elements in the body? Are you supposed to end up with 0.8 * 12pt = 9.6pt or 0.81 * 0.8 * 12pt = 7.8pt?
And I thought this was obvious enough not to have to mention... but to the people who aren't getting 7 pt, what is your base font set to, and what is your minimum font size set to?
I'm not at all sure that this can be blamed on FreeType.
