That's it!
With this test:

<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Transitional//EN"
     "http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-transitional.dtd">
<html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml" xml:lang="en" lang="en" 
dir="ltr">
         <head>
                 <style type="text/css">
                         html {font-size: 100%;}
                         body {font-family: sans-serif;}
                 </style>
         </head>
         <body>
                 <p>Rename table to</p>
         </body>
</html>

I see the same size for the text as in PMA (which still seems too big). 
In my browser, the default font is Times New Roman and the default size 
is 16.

I just made a quick test: in my browser, set the default size to 14. Now 
PMA 2.10.2 displays as the same size as PMA 2.6.0.
