CSS Font-Size Reset

Question

I'm just wondering if there is any kind of CSS font-size Reset Code, since I am doing a grid without float and had to set the font-size to 0

As a Result of that none of my Text inside that Div is showing up.

Thank you for your help!

Edit:

JSFiddle

Some way to do the Grid without setting the font-size to 0 would also be great.

This is the simplified Markup and CSS I'm using:

HTML

<div class="container">

    <div class="inner">

        <section id="left-area"> [...] </section>

        <section id="right-area"> [...] </section>

    </div>

</div>

CSS

.container {
    margin: 0 auto;
    text-align: left;
    width: 1020px;
}

.container .inner {
    width: 100%;
    height: 100%;
    display: table-row;
    font-size: 0;
}

.container .inner section#left-area, .container .inner section#right-area {
    display: inline-block;
    vertical-align: top;
}

Use Eric Meyer CSS Reset.

Here is the code:

html, body, div, span, applet, object, iframe,
h1, h2, h3, h4, h5, h6, p, blockquote, pre,
a, abbr, acronym, address, big, cite, code,
del, dfn, em, img, ins, kbd, q, s, samp,

menu, nav, output, ruby, section, summary,
time, mark, audio, video {
    margin: 0;
    padding: 0;
    border: 0;
    font-size: 100%;
    font: inherit;
    vertical-align: baseline;
}
/* HTML5 display-role reset for older browsers */
article, aside, details, figcaption, figure, 
footer, header, hgroup, menu, nav, section {
    display: block;
}
body {
    line-height: 1;
}
ol, ul {
    list-style: none;
}
blockquote, q {
    quotes: none;
}
blockquote:before, blockquote:after,
q:before, q:after {
    content: '';
    content: none;
}
table {
    border-collapse: collapse;
    border-spacing: 0;
}

There are many resets, but like you said you need something specific for fonts, but this reset, when used in totality, has helped me for a lot of my projects including font-size and when used as full, shall fulfill your font-size requirement too. Hope this Helps.

Thanks for your answer, but i've already tried this, this messes up everything and the Text still isn't showing. I'm looking for something that just resets the font-sizes to what they are in standard HTML

If you reduct the width of .container .inner section#left-area, .container .inner section#right-area from 150px to 148px and comment font-size:0; it works. -@NoahWetjen

True but fist this produces a gap between the two sections and also I'm using a Grid inside of this, so I can't just adjust the Width.

Here is the solution. jsfiddle.net/ZgcJw/8 . Hope this solves your purpose. I have commented the font-size:0 and the display:inline-block in the .container .inner section#left-area, .container .inner section#right-area and added a new css for section with display:table-cell;. I hope it works as what you want. - @NoahWetjen
