what does this font resize code in css mean exactly ??

font:12px/170% Verdana,sans-serif

---

font is a short hand for a lot of font related settings, see http://www.w3.org/TR/CSS2/fonts.html#propdef-font

In your Example: font:<font-size>/<line-height> <font-family>

So the font-size is 12px and the line height are 170% of that (20.4px).
