That shouldn't affect the vertical size, though, should it? I wouldn't have thought it would, since that's kind of how font sizes are calibrated. Then again, that's how it works in the real world; as I type it, it occurs to me that I don't actually know if that's true of HTML font scaling, since the settings for those are all arbitrary and at least partially browser-dependent. So perhaps my background in Actually Printed Things has led me astray once again.

How common is Trebuchet? Whatever it's set to needs to be something that is present on most user systems out there, since (unlike, for instance, the Adobe Typekit fonts embedded in the Gun of the Week pages by Dreamweaver) they are entirely client-side in this application. (That's why my first experiment used Calibri, which like Verdana is a stock Windows font, and is the default font in Microsoft Word, so presumably present on many Macs as well.) I mean, I could set it to Futura or Gill Sans, but I'm guessing that would only amuse, well, me. :)
