I'm looking for information about how best to deal with font sizing
for different browsers.

An old problem, I'm sure -
I make a page.
Font looks ok on IE.
But, the text is uncomfortably tiny on other browers.

Whats the best way to fix this?
Where can I find info about ways to address this?

What's to fix?

No one else has got your eyes, can see the things you see.

If you keep font sizes relative, then your readers can adjust their
display as they wish and you can maintain large headings and smaller
text.

For relative sizes you might like to use ems or % eg:

"font-size : 1.2em"
