sometimes webpage font sizes are very tiny when you print them !

I think I've just worked out why this happens ! Maybe it's because there is no CSS at all so that firefox 2.0.0.13 uses default system font-size (14px) or the text font size (in the CSS file) has been specified in pixels (px) instead of points (pt) !

i.e.

body { font-size: 12px; }

instead of

body { font-size: 12pt; }

This seems to be the problem with the WikkaWiki CSS style sheets so i've created a ticket http://wush.net/trac/wikka/ticket/764 and fixed my own WikkaWiki sites !

Here is what print / print preview looks like before and after you've added / fixed your firefox and/or CSS !
