Hi Michael,

Thanks for pointing this out. My pet peeve is people who set an
absolute font size, overriding the user's desires.

I think I finally figured out how to jump through Google's hoops
without dictating font size to the user. I *did* crank up the default
font size by 25% so that my smaller fonts wouldn't trigger Google's
"illegible fonts" screen on some of my smaller styles. But at +25%,
it's nothing like the double and triple sized fonts my original page
had generated when viewing on a normal browser. And I got rid of the
media queries that made font sizes all of a sudden jump.

Could you please look at http://www.troubleshooters.com/linux/xargs.htm
again, reload, and tell me if it's now better?

Thanks,

SteveT
