Oh no it doesn't. It comes out at exactly the right size :-)

Unfortunately it isn't quite as simple as that. Avoid using font size 
keywords - they are not consistently dealt with across browsers. What you 
can do is define your text sizes using em. That way the text will be 
displayed at size the user has it set to.

If `default' sized text looks to big on _your_ copy of NS6 then change the 
settings on _your_ copy, not in all the web pages you make.
