>4-IE's text sizer has no effect on pt (or px) sized text. Having used a very high resolution to physical size Windows tablet PC for years I know that if you use points on a Windows computer IE will size any page that uses points to the DPI set in the OS in IE. However, Firefox does not recognize the 120dpi or whatever other settings you choose in your OS and will continue to display it as the browser's default point size. One other factor to throw into the mix is the popularity of LCD screens where the display degrades considerably when you change the screen resolution to anything other than the native screen resolution. Hence my familiarity with how Windows, browsers and applications handle dpi other than 96. Problems in using pixel based container sizes, especially with point based text has shown up in a number of desktop applications, not just in browsers.
