13: Response to Holy ick (response to 1)

One method I've used from time to time to get around the problem of Macs and PCs having different ideas about the size of a particular point size is to specify the font height in pixels:
p {
font-family: Verdana, Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif;
font-size: 12px;
color: #ffffff;
}

Of course, this completly destroys the whole relative font size thing, but hey, it's an imperfect world.

The ideal solution would use a browser/platform detection script to link in a stylesheet specific for that particular browser/platform's idiosyncrasies. Ugly. Maybe one of these days all browsers will support CSS properly. I don't have high hopes for this, however.
