November 15, 201213 yr I have a website where I am trying to make the font size consistent against different size browsers. At the moment, in a larger screen size the font is normal but in a smaller size screen the font is massive. I had been using 12px but tried changing this to 85% but the font again seemed a great deal larger on a smaller screen. Can anyone help me resolve this issue??
November 15, 201213 yr 12px is tiny. People started using 12px when 1024*768 was a large screen and for some bizarre reason they've been unable to drop it. Most browsers default to 16px for a reason: it's legible. I'd never suggest going below 14px on the desktop. As far as your issue goes, set the font size within your media queries.

As far as responsive goes just use ems as welshhuw says then manipulate the body font-size in your media-queries and everything will automatically adjust I recently blogged my own approach: http://internet-inspired.com/wrote/thoughts/on-content-and-design
