Default Font Size: The Battle is Won »UsableType » UsableType: Web Typography Guide

The defacto answer on font sizing for the web? Not really, but it looks at how we have forced a trend of smaller text as designers, versus the usability of allowing the user to decide.

REcently in contrast though a lot of more modern websites are increasing their font sizes again. Not to the always to the default size, but larger than the micro fonts that were cool about 3 years ago.

I wonder if this is because of XP's ability to render fonts nicer to the masses and because of higher resolution monitors.
