This is a follow up to another post I had going. What is the difference between specifying text as a point sixe or a pixel size when building a site? Which one is recommended?

Points are for printed type. But on screen, your fonts are rendered in pixels. So pixels are probably preferred over points on-screen.
However, ems are even better for text as it allows the user to re-size the text to his/her reading preferences. Your milage may vary.
