Ems are a relative unit – which means that the displayed font size is relative to the default font set within the viewer’s browser. There is no direct, fixed, relationship between ems and pixels.

Do I understand correctly that I cannot change the new topic caption’s text size (smaller)? Can I force the size by using pixels? If so, what do I edit?
You can change whatever you want using CSS. The point I was trying to make is that you can’t set a size in ems and expect it to equate to 20px on all machines/browsers. Text sizes set in ems vary from user to user. That’s what ems are for – to set user-based font sizes. If you want the text to be 20px, then set it to 20px.

I might be wrong but it sounds like you think this would be a bad idea? Should I just go with the ems? I respect your opinion.
With the advent of a decent Zoom in IE8, I don’t think that text sizes specified in pixels is the access issue that it used to be. If a variable size font would significantly break your layout, then I think it would be reasonable to use a px font-size.

Many thanks. I’m not sure that I’m identifying the location right … it is the very large text I would like to make smaller but h2 is set at 1.1 em … is that the right place?

I still can’t find the place to edit for the title caption.
One other new thing … http://protocolconsultinggroup.com/blog/
there is a gray (#F6F6F6) bar at the top (next to Home) … I would like to change the background color … can you tell where where to find it?
Thanks!
