You might like to take a look at graphics text vs. your 10px text with the aid of a magnifier. (The one in Windows that comes under Start > All Programs > Accessories > Accessibility > Magnifier will do.) Crank it up to five times or more and notice the difference between the graphics and the regular text. Text created by graphics tools are usually anti-aliased - they have "hints" of gray around the characters to make them easier to read. The regular content text generally does not. Bottom line - the text created by graphics tools is likely to be easier to read than regular text of the same size. Regular text needs to be larger to compensate for this. Moreover, there is likely much more regular text than graphics text. While I am okay with reading the fine print on a CD cover, I would not want to read a whole magazine printed that small!
