Hi,
The main problem with this action is it probably doesn't achieve
what you are aiming for anyway. Pt sizes are rendered
differently on different systems. What appears usable on a
Windows machine is often unreadable on a Mac screen for example
due to the differences in dpi that the two systems use when
rendering fonts.
If you really need to specify the absolute size of the fonts on
your site, use px units, as a pixel is always a pixel :)
Personally, I would use a relative unit anyway, such as em, but
it really depends what the target audience you are aiming at
uses...
