What is wrong with using px for font-sizes?  Then  you don't have to use 
javascript to decide which css.



Using px you get the most appropriate representation - pixel perfect. 
The problem is the user can't bump up the font size on their own, which 
is your problem, huh?



Which do others prefer (if this is not too off-topic)? I am of the 
opinion that the designer should design to pixel precision but take into 
account poor vision (give user ability to change CSS if desired).

One suggestion for your site (others may disagree).  Your CSS uses pts 
for

font sizing.  This causes your text to be nearly unreadable on my 
larger high

res monitor viewed by my deficient old eyes.  Check out use of EM and 
EX for

CSS font sizing... you'll get a much better result than using PTS or PX.

Also, to ensure a consistent experience across browsers, use a 
javascript to

load browser specific stylesheets (this allows you to maximize on CSS 
while

compensating for each browser maker's shortfalls).  The javascript is 
just a

browser sniffer with a bunch of document.writes that output the 
appropriate

css link.  You can get extreme with it if you like and do screen res

detection to load res specific stylesheets (rem stylesheets can include

additional external stylesheets).



Hope this was useful,
Richard
