One thing you need to be aware of, though, is people like me with high resolution screens on our laptops likely have Windows set to 120 DPI. This immediately creates a difference between point-based agents such as IE and Opera, and pixel based ones like Firefox. Text size defaults to 20 pixels on the point-based agents, 16 pixels on the rest. But I do have to ask, "so what?" (Q. Does IE 7 resize pixel-sized text?)
