Okay, where's your site please? I would like to look at it with NN3, 4x, IE 
4, + 5 with my PC. Personally, I think size 10pt text is too large in most 
cases.

Yes, I understand that using px instead of pt is a more universal size. 
But, that people who need large text and have their browser preferences set 
to "large" or "largest" size, won't get that - they will be forced to view 
small size text. Where pt will allow them to see "larger" text, px will not.

i.e. like my 75 yo Mom who recently bought a powerful Dell to further her 
doll collecting on Ebay. Granted, there may not be many of her type 
visiting my site, but using pt, I at least know her browser will give her 
larger text sizes.
