Principle 0: use 72 points fonts.

  It doesn't quite seem to match the Typography section. Where it says "We’re using Georgia for body text." and that they're using em for sizing it appears to be styled as "Helmet,Freesans,sans-serif;" and using px+% (like YUI). Also main.css has 7 declarations at the top of just the font-size for html object - which looks weird. Deleting all but the declaration "html {font-size: 62.5%;}" appears to right-size the fonts for the page. I can't see where the web-font is supposed to be being downloaded either but I've only taken a quick glance. Edit: Looks like it's browser specific - this is FF11 on Linux. Somehow not applying the @media declarations correctly? Also looks like the little script isn't giving me the fastfonts css.

    Thanks, I'm also F11 on Linux and wondered why no one else seemed to shudder at the huge text.

      If you could email a screenshot and your browser details to govuk-feedback@digital.cabinet-office.gov.uk someone will have a look at that. thanks!

  The font size is responsive, try re-sizing the browser. The font scales.

    I shouldn't have to re-size my window; I like my browser maximised.
