I didn't see any reference to using pt for fonts. 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?

I've had to worry about how different browsers render different screen sizes for text for years. I don't want to use "px" for font-size as IE will cripple the browsers "VIEW, Text Size" control. We need to keep the text-size browser control fully operational for accessibility and usability. At the same time, we want text-laden pages to render "approximately" the same across all browsers on page load, normal text-viewing-size. My reference on the subject has been the work of Owen Briggs: http://www.thenoodleincident.com/tutorials/box_lesson/font/index.html This work gets close, but for my purposes, it could be improved. Firefox will always renders text noticeably larger than IE and these are the two most significant browsers in our user base. The page layouts differ more than I would like. Using JavaScript, it might be possible to get a better match in IE and Firefox text-size by detecting the browser type and setStyle on the body {font-size: value} to a browser-specific setting such that the "normal" rendering size was the same across all browsers. Before I go off and invent the wheel again; has anyone seen anything like this done elsewhere?
