Kinda off the topic for this thread, but keep in mind that using pixel sizes
works against accessibility standards, since Win IE will not allow
text-resizing for visually-impaired folks when the page uses pixel sizing on
the font.  Font-size keywords, ems, percentages all work for accessibility
(as would a stylesheet font-size switcher if you must use pixels).

<tip type="Quick DOM Viewing in Mozilla" author="Maximillian Von
Schwanekamp">
Everyone wades through "View Source" from time to time when developing for
the web.  However, if your page really complex or has elements
changing/being created via client-side scripting, you can use a feature in
Mozilla to view the a selection of the DOM at any given moment, without
using any plugins or favelets.  Select some content on your page (some of it
must be textual) and right-click (or equivalent), and select "View Selection
Source."  Mozilla will present a very readable excerpt that can be very
handy at times.
