((I'm assuming this is NOT a print-only style sheet))

Care to explain WHY your font size HAS to be fixed at 12pt?

'pt' is an essentially meaningless unit of measurement on a computer
screen. ... it will be MUCH smaller on Macs   .... and that it is NOT
resizable in Internet Explorer... And you're marking it !important?


At least mark it as 12px (which still is inaccessible and not resizable
in IE, iirc)

Preferably mark it as 1em (heck even .9em)

Consider marking it as 'medium' or even 'small'

Just some thoughts...
