But it does not look good on mine. IMHO the only time that point size should be used in CSS is when formatting for print. Specifying a point size for use in a web browser is no different than specifying a pixel size. What looks good on one monitor may not look good on someone else's. I have configured Firefox so that the default font looks good on my monitor. I can comfortably read anything that does not over-ride the font size. Font that is slightly larger or slightly smaller is still easy to read. But, by specifying a specific pixel size, my settings are being completely disregarded. And, on my 1400x1050 14" laptop, it looks too small. Any time I do CSS, I only use percentages, em's or ex's. That way, I don't mess to much with the user's defaults. -Chris
