Font Sizes

What is the difference in HTML between a font size of 0 and +0? I have a
page with text that is one size too big -- it's +1 now. If I change it
to +0, it's the right size. However, I initially changed it to 0, but
that was WAY too small. Obviously I'm not an HTML coder.

I have never used 0, but what it is doing is displaying the
smallest font based on your default font size. Using the
+/- font sizes is an adjustment from your baseline font
size. An absolute number such as 0 is the same as using
-3, since the baseline size is 3.

So don't use HTML but try CSS instead :)
Between <head></head):
<style type="text/css">
body {font-size: 95%}
</style>
Better: don't specify a font size at all. Let the visitor decide.
