[WEB4LIB] IE's base font size upon install

[Jon Solomon]

in my latest versions of IE (5.5 and 6), the default font is always set to 
smallest, which is even worse in relation to your concerns.  in fact, even 
if i close my browser (without shutting down), the font re-sets to 
smallest.  the same is true if a new window is opened.  i'd love to know 
how to fix this.
