It is odd that Web page designers keep making text smaller and smaller, just because CSS lets them do it so easily. They use absolute values, instead of the settings the user has determined correct for their viewing conditions, or percentages of those settings. At the very least, they should be using point sizes, which would ensure compatibility if the user has configured the GUI for large fonts. Specifying font size in pixels is, frankly, rude.

In Mozilla 1.7, regardless of the platform you can set a minimum font size. Many use this to work-around sites that insist on using tiny body text. It also means that nothing gets that tiny--even if it's text that doesn't matter. You can try to make it 6 pixels tall on the HTML page, and it'll still be readable.

Keep making that "Edited:" field smaller, and it will stay the same size--it needs to be simplified, not have the text shrunk. Shorten "Edited:" and use the same numbering format as the original date stamp, and it shouldn't wrap in most browsers. It will probably still wrap if somebody has used OS accessibility features.

Here is where I differ from most here. In Mozilla Preferences, I have these font settings:

18 pixel standard body text (for font size=3)
15 pixel monospace
15 pixel minimum font size

The final setting cannot be overridden by Web pages.

In addition, at the bottom of the page I have:

[x] Allow documents to use other fonts
Display resolution: 96 dpi
