Some people that fancy those nifty shortkeys (I do, I do!) and have a
scrollmouse sometimes by accident set a different font size... If you want
to know what I mean, open Internet Explorer, hold down control and scroll
the wheel.  You'll need to reset the font size after this - through the
menu.

:) Shortkeys - ahhh...

It's really hard to say what matches with what. I've generally equated
10pt to 12px on Windows/MSIE, but Mozilla will for example display the
10pt font larger. For fonts in the Serif family, I'd generally agree to
leave the sizing out; however, Sans Serif fonts are larger than Serif by
default and therefore need to be scaled down. Personally I've always
used 12px for Sans Serif fonts, even though there are obvious drawbacks
like MSIE not scaling it (Mozilla will) when the user wants the fonts
to display larger. 12px for Sans Serif is pretty standard and matches
with the font size you'd typically find in print material. The way I see
I see it is that in general people will see 12px Sans Serif fonts and
the ones that don't usually read with glasses anyway.
