Q:

Google Chrome, font size 1px smaller than other browsers

In chrome the font appears to be 1px smaller than FF and IE and I cannot see why. The font used is "Georgia" and there are no specific browser commands in the CSS or HTML so I cannot figure out why chrome is displaying it different.
Has anyone come across this before?
Thanks.

A:

This could be based on various factors.  Chrome and Firefox use different font rendering engines, and they also differ in how they interpret ClearType font settings within Windows.  As well, different browsers apply different default CSS styles to unmarked documents which can cause discrepancies in font-size, among other things.  You could try using something like a CSS Reset stylesheet to possibly quell some of the problems, http://www.cssreset.com/ but there's no guarantee that will fix it.
