I find the font looks a little small, but I can scale the fonts in Firebird 
easy enough. ^_^

 From my experience (and it's part of my job), using point (pt) sizes in 
style sheets gives a more consistent scale across browsers, resolutions and 
platforms.

The accessability purists will tell you to use percent, but this has 
problems due to the cascading nature of style sheets. Each nested element 
will apply that percent again - in SOME browsers. ^_^
