But it does not look good on mine.

IMHO the only time that point size should be used in CSS is when
formatting for print.  Specifying a point size for use in a web browser is
no different than specifying a pixel size.  What looks good on one monitor
may not look good on someone else's.

I have configured Firefox so that the default font looks good on my
monitor.  I can comfortably read anything that does not over-ride the font
size.  Font that is slightly larger or slightly smaller is still easy to
read.  But, by specifying a specific pixel size, my settings are being
completely disregarded.  And, on my 1400x1050 14" laptop, it looks too
small.

Any time I do CSS, I only use percentages, em's or ex's.  That way, I
don't mess to much with the user's defaults.
