CSS fonts are much bigger or smaller in FrontPage.

Article ID: KB101664

Question: Why are some of the fonts so much bigger or smaller in FrontPage than in a browser?

Answer: To be W3C-compliant, your template may use "relative" font sizes which allow the viewer to resize the text instead of "absolute" font sizes (pixels and points) that stay the same no matter what the viewer does to the browser's text size. However, FrontPage does not display relative font sizes very accurately, so they may end up looking very large or very small in comparison to what the font actually looks like in a browser. Until Microsoft fixes this, you'll unfortunately have to deal with it. Again, always preview your pages in an actual browser to make sure that they look as expected.
