For my website to display in a normal font in preview, I
have to use fonts 1 or 2, but when I preview, it looks
much bigger, I'm worried about the impact of this
difference when I'll publish the site. If somme computers
display that size 1, it will be a disaster, they will
need a magnifying glass! Please help
 
In IE View Text size and set it to medium

Check your browser settings to make sure that your browser is using the
standard font size. In IE it's really easy to accidentally increase the font
size and not really know it (it can be done with a few almost random
keystrokes, trust me I've done it myself before). Under View | Text Size,
make sure that it is set to medium.

Another thing to make sure is that you don't have a cascading stylesheet
applied that could be over-riding your size settings. Also, a 1 is real,
real small so it could be that it's accurate. A lot of people will have
trouble reading a size 1 except on a monitor with a lower resolution. The
higher the resolution, the better to stay away from a size 1.
