What about the instance where the "base font" is bigger than "standard"?
  For example, Arial and TimesRoman have different base sizes, at least
Arial looks bigger on my machine than Times Roman.  I often reduce Arial
font sizes so that font sizes are fairly consistent as far as height.

Admittedly, usually its only a few pixels, but I still think its a valid
reason to modify font sizes.
