Yeah, about like hat.  Someone else (sorry, I forgot who already) indicated
that courier fonts tend to be smaller than their verdana, arial, etc
counterparts for the same point size.

Well, that's probably helped by the fact that I defined it that way.  I was
just copying the setting for the body:

    BODY                    { background:   white;
                              color:        #484848; 
                              margin-right: 15%;
    font-family: geneva, verdana, arial, "ms sans serif", sans-serif; 
    font-size: 12pt;
    }

    ...

    TT.literal { 
      font-size: 12pt;
    }

Should it have been "font-size: 100%"?  Someone suggested that, right?
