Lucky you are if you have only problems with font size. There's also a problem that people don't set up their preferred font size, so it's understandable that designers may want to work this around. And e.g. FF doesn't honor that setting anyway.
Apple messed up the whole preferred font size by having a smaller default size for Safari than other browsers. That meant that the site looked wrong on Safari if not hardcoding the font-size, from the viewpoint of customers. YMMV.
If the site is "responsive" you should get it right by zooming the whole page anyway. And it makes sense to have larger figures if you need larger fonts.
Others in the thread has used the term "pixel perfect" to refer to the "px" unit. FWIW "px" does not refer to pixel, but is a perception related unit which is based on the normal view distance to the screen. This is usually rounded off to the closest whole pixel block (1x2, 2x2, 3x3 etc).
