It may or may not affect other websites, depending on how they're coded. Most likely will affect them, I think.
Mal: You tell me right now, little Kaylee, you really think you can do this? Kaylee: Sure. Yeah. I think so. 'Sides, if I mess up, not like you'll be able to yell at me.

Yes, it will affect them.

Yes, it will affect them.
Not necessarily. WX and The Perfect World remain otherwise unaffected for me.

Hm. I must go to low-rent sites that don't bother with over-riding coding.

Rebecca - Have you tried simply adjusting the default font size in your browser's preferences?
It doesn't look any differently than it did before. Still default size 12. Before I was looking at a body size of Verdana *16*, and quotes size 12; now I'm looking at body size Verdana 12 and quoted text 11. I'm not exactly sure what went down-- I installed Flash 6, it restarted IE for me, and then my fonts were funky.

I hate to say it, but I think that, having taken off the specific point- or pixel-size for the P tag, the next step should be converting all the other font sizes which have numbers into percentages.
From a quick look at the style sheet, you've got 10,12,14, 16 and 18, so expressed as percentages, using an assumption that 12 is the base font size that would be equivalent to, uh, [goes to use Excel]:
10 83% 12 100% 14 117% 16 133% 18 150% 36 300%
those numbers are a bit clunky, so change them to:
10 80% 12 100% 14 120% 16 130% 18 150% 36 300%
and you should have very little difference, but much greater compatibility.

compatibility with what?
There's lots of tables with specific pixel-sized dimensions, especially in the left-hand column. If I make the font-sizes all percentages, it'll wreak havoc with the layout.

And FYI, the base size was 14px.
