...or the two stolen pixels. With the vector-skin it's hard to setup bigger fonts for text body . Even with 18px one get's only 14px (rounded). And my convinient setting was 17px resulting in 16px font size on MonoBook. The Table below lists the scaling result depending on settings. 127%*x-small = MonoBook 0.8*medium = Vector medium° | x-small | 127%*x-small | 0.8*medium 12px | 9px | 11.43px | 9.6px 13px | 10px | 12.7px | 10.4px 14px | 10px | 12.7px | 11.2px 15px | 10px | 12.7px | 12px 16px | 10px | 12.7px | 12.8px (default setting) 17px | 12.75px | 16.1925px | 13.6px (=14px) 18px | 13.5px | 17.145px | 14.4px (=14px!) °medium = browser setting Since target size is 13px it would lead to more comfortable configuration options when setting scaling factor to 13/16 = 0,8125. medium | (0.8125*medium) 12px | 9.75px 13px | 10.5625px 14px | 11.375px 15px | 12.1875px 16px | 13px 17px | 13.8125px (=14px) 18px | 14.625px (=15px) By the way google search uses small for scaling textbody, which gives best results in upscaling fonts, also it's less predictable what exactliy is happening. Should affect opera, chrome and safari as well, but on IE there is no way in setting font size directly by numbers.
font size:small; on diffrent browsers medium | Opera | FireFox ---------+--------+----------- 14px | 12px | 12px 15px | 12px | 13px 16px | 13px | 13px 17px | 14px | 15.117px 18px | 15px | 16.017px
Could you please fix that at least for the body object. #bodyContent { font-size:0.8125em; }

Is this still a problem? Vector has been about for a while now as the default skin so I'd imagine issues should have been fixed.
Good questions. Counting pixels of a screen shot shows that scaling font size on FF12 does quite well. But styles in vector didn't change in that point. FireBug still gives the same calculated values. Maybe rendering or rounding has changed. FireFox 12.1 medium° | 0.8*medium 17px | 13.6px (=14px) 18px | 14.4px (=15px?! counted) In my opinion styles still should be set to 13/16 = 0,8125.
Biezl:
I think this bug is implicitly fixed by the typography refresh. The #bodyContent font-size has been changed to 0.875em (which gives exactly 14px if medium is 16px).
