Hey Taco

The general idea that we stick to in here is that % or ems are best.

This is to work around a "bug" in IE/WIN that prevents px based fonts being
resized easily. It is still possible to resize px fonts in IE but you have
to dig around in the menu rather than using ctrl+scrolly mouse.

Perfect case of theoretical accessibility vs. real life accessibility.

Using pt for fonts on the web is a mistake. Points are a unit for measuring
fonts on paper and do not adapt well to the complexities of screen
resolution, etc..


Cheers

Mark
