I see that a lot has already been said on this, but, it was something I
dealt with recently myself. The solution I came up with was to use points
for the font size. I managed to get a page to finally look the same in both
Internet Explorer and Netscpae on either a mac or a winbox. Using points
didn't keep a slight change in size across system platform, but did take
care of the browser issue.  I plan tomorrow to experiment with points to
see how that works out.  Someone else mentioned sniffing the browser and
platform first and then selecting a style sheet. This makes sense a lot of
sense, and I think I'm going to include that as part of my near future
solutions to similar problems.

Just some 2 cents.
