What is wrong with using px for font-sizes? Then you don't have to use javascript to decide which css.

Using px you get the most appropriate representation - pixel perfect. The problem is the user can't bump up the font size on their own, which is your problem, huh?

Which do others prefer (if this is not too off-topic)? I am of the opinion that the designer should design to pixel precision but take into account poor vision (give user ability to change CSS if desired).

One suggestion for your site (others may disagree). Your CSS uses pts for
font sizing. This causes your text to be nearly unreadable on my larger high
res monitor viewed by my deficient old eyes. Check out use of EM and EX for
CSS font sizing... you'll get a much better result than using PTS or PX.
Also, to ensure a consistent experience across browsers, use a javascript to
load browser specific stylesheets (this allows you to maximize on CSS while
compensating for each browser maker's shortfalls). The javascript is just a
browser sniffer with a bunch of document.writes that output the appropriate
css link. You can get extreme with it if you like and do screen res
detection to load res specific stylesheets (rem stylesheets can include
additional external stylesheets).

Hope this was useful,
Richard
