I think Yahoo! YUI Library is too large and complicated to use only the CSS reset and fonts files, and it does not provide a flexible way of measuring items for layout in em’s. But it was the best we found until now.

Recently I came across Tripoli, a CSS library that resets the browser styles and separates layout (1em = 10px) and typography (all HTML inside the “content” container will have a base font size of 12px). It also provides some plugins to accomplish similar results as with YUI grids (but we don’t need it for the moment) and to enhance the visual appearance of base HTML for the “content” items (form controls, headers, paragraphs…).

I hope soon to have the results of this experiment and that it represents a reasonable improvement in the page rendering quality  and in the ability to customize it using themes.

Note of the author: There will surely be some mistake in my English, I wrote this the best I could.
