I know relative sizing seems nice but then there's the art department to contend with. At least when you work for a corporation like here at CNET.
They always want as much control as possible over their pages, so absolute font sizing is the general rule. Do other people find that to be true when working with a corporate art department?

Much of my work demands client platform independence. If I use absolute sizing, it will almost certainly look weird on one or more of the client devices.
I notice a LOT of enterprises tell the dev group to assume that all the clients are 800x600 or somesuch - but that locks out the folks with Tablets or PDA's, and older people with bad eyes.
I read CNET content on My PDA's every day, and I love it - but if they used absolute sizing - it would never work.

Mozilla based browsers seem to allow clients too much freedom to resize their text. Its so easy to resize fonts in FF, and even if you allow some 'give' its ridiculously easy to just ctrl+scroll and break the layout of semi-pixel-perfect designs.
Is there any way to force a text size without allowing FF, Mozilla or Netscape to resize it?
