You're right, for some reason in that font it's the difference is much
more noticeable. Both Google and Wikipedia seem to be doing some
tricks scaling up and down the font-size. Still, in the end the
font-size looks very small on Gmail... strange.

So in the end Wikipedia: 91%, Gmail: 80%, Google: 86%... small is 79%.

I've updated it again, changing the 'green' color to something more
subtle and reverted all the font-size changes.
