comments on newly generated html draft format and font sizes

2015-04-22 07:26:53

Hi,

I don't know where to turn, so I'll send email here.

I am reading two documents:

https://tools.ietf.org/html/draft-ietf-homenet-hncp-04
https://tools.ietf.org/html/draft-ietf-homenet-dncp-02

The last one was created in in the past day or so. I noticed that it was in a much larger font size than other IETF html documents. I looked into the source, and the first one has "font-size: 1em;" in body {} and the last one has "font-size: 12pt;". I don't know if that's actually is the right place to look, but that's the one I found.

I am not an expert in HTML and CSS, but "1em" seems to result in a better expected result for me than "12pt".

I use latest Chrome on OSX 10.10.3. If I resize the 12pt document to my liking, now the "1em" is too small, and the other way around. This is really painful when trying to read two documents that are referring to each other and switching between them.

If I take the "12pt" document and do "view source", I get the text in the same size as the "1em" documents. It thus seems to me that at least Chrome defaults to 1em and for some reason treats "12pt" differently.

I like the old format better, the 12pt documents just defaults to too big text for me.

If I look at the txt versions (change /html/ to /id/) then they are the same text size as the "1em;" versions.

So to summarize:

https://tools.ietf.org/id/draft-ietf-homenet-dncp-02.txt
https://tools.ietf.org/id/draft-ietf-homenet-hncp-04.txt
https://tools.ietf.org/html/draft-ietf-homenet-hncp-04

all have the same font size on my screen (including following each other when I do cmd + and cmd - in one of them).

https://tools.ietf.org/html/draft-ietf-homenet-dncp-02

is a few font sizes bigger. Could someone please look into this, it doesn't seem optimal to me?
