Odd font sizes
I have set my font sizes to x-small but for some reason on one of my links the text is rendering as xx-small. There's nothing unusual about the code, everything is in simple <h1> and <p> tags, can anyone see what's wrong?
This is the page with the smaller font size - http://www.hospicereviewni.org.uk/pressreleases.asp - browse all other pages and u will see the font size rendering as it should.

It's IE6, it looks ok from home, must be a proxy/caching problem

It's very bizarre. It's still happening today in work and even when I clear my cache out and do a hard refresh it makes no difference. As I said, I checked this at home last night and it was fine!

I use relative sizes hence the use of x-small, when I change it to small it increases to the size it should do but then all the other pages fonts go up one!

I think this may well be an IE6 problem. Anyone else I've asked to look at it and sees the same thing is using IE6.

Problem solved! It was my doctype, when I reverted to 4.0 transitional instead of 4.01 transitional, then my font-size x-small worked fine. So this begs the question, if I want to use a 4.01 trans doctype and make my fonts relative in size, should I used percentages then?
