Very helpful thanks Tim - albeit the consensus (text size still matters) supports my suspicion which could result in a bun fight with our developers... :)

Subject: Re: text size vs zoom
You know, I have benefited a lot from this discussion. I've learned a lot about something I never knew I had to learn about! I've made some small changes to the CSS file for http://dartmouthmuseum.org/ (copied and pasted it this time!), and I am now measuring fonts in em not px, though some other items I have left in px since they are not font based, and I've dumped italics for the links in the body of the text and changed their colour to make them more obvious.
That;s the great thing about groups like this. Folk are never too busy to let someone know when they have missed their way, and the guidance here is easy to follow.
I don't claim by any means that the site is perfect now. It isn't! But it's better. And that has to be good.
So to all who've helped me, directly or indirectly, thank you. And thank you to the original poster for asking the question. Have any of us answered it?
