Its more, if you are using a font with a massive difference in size,
then obviously things aren't going to look right. However, if a
website require pixel-perfect rendering, then it isn't going to work
anyway once it hits a platform that isn't the one the designer works
on. I'm not advocating that websites should be rigid, more that
complaining that the site doesn't work under /your/ specific settings
is really not fair to the developer.

if I have to type <!--[if IE 6]> ever again it will be too soon (we
