Honestly, I pretty much refuse to take heed of such advice when the guy's website is so very, well, ugly! He's saying - don't use Verdana because: It's slighly larger in size to others fonts at the same size - eg Arial. Thus a user without Verdana installed (not extremely likely currently) may be viewing the text in another font, and that font may look too small on the screen. Hmmmm. This would be why we use ems or percentages. So the user can resize. The article reads like a beat-up on Verdana for fairly obscure reasons. I'd ignore it, for what that's worth.
