It's been a while since I've researched pts, but I had to toss them years ago. Something about browser differences in rendering pts. IE will fix fonts when px are used. It's out. Seems like ems or % are the available choices, but no setting will give you what you want / need. Which is why I'm thinking there ought to be a JavaScript to do the job. I'll look around for one, then try to write one if nothing is out there.

I use pt for most of my fonts and sizes seem the same across browsers. Is there some big bad reason for not using pt for fonts that I'm unaware of?
