Hi,
still about font sizes: many browsers have standardized on a default size of 16, this is why many find the text oversized in recent versions of PMA (and the majority of users don't bother changing their browser's settings because many sites adjust their fonts or font sizes accordingly).
On phpmyadmin.net we specify the font size in CSS, and it's not dependent on the default browser's font size. Users can still do CTRL + or - if their browser supports it.
So why not do it in PMA, with a config parameter containing 14 by default (if set to empty, PMA would not alter the font-size in CSS).

There should be a start fontsize of 80% set in config.default.php (user adjustable in config.inc.php if needed) so I don't need to call index.php?fontsize=80% anymore to avoid using the selector and thus forcing a frameset reload everytime, e.g., when visiting the demo server. Some other settings in css must be lager then (for example #body_leftFrame #list_server li { ... font-size: 80%;})

my opinion is the same as in the last discussion about that (the page should be displayed as the user configured his system, btw. it is the same with PHP 4 - webpages makes font smaller cause browsers make them too large, browser can't make the default smaller cause webpages make them even smaller cause current browsers make them too large ...) - but i really don't want to stay in the way for changing this - but i clearly do not agree that this is good practice or should be recommended usage or does help the user in any way!
