Font Size Advice

[BoOmEr2120]

This is for all of the webmasters out there:

What font size do you use most often to display text on web pages. I don't know whether I should use the smallest size, or the second smallest. To me, I prefer the smallest size, but I would like to get some feedback on which size one would prefer.

I generally like to keep my fonts in the size 10-12 range, depending.

I guess it's really a matter of personal preference, and readability

Same here.

here too... although in HTML I usually use a font size of 2...

I normally use a font size of 1 in html.

Mainly because my resolution is 1280x1024 and the font is readable.

If you got someone come to your site and they have their resolution at 640x480 the font will be HUGE

font size 1 is un-viewable on macintosh systems, as web designers, we should cater to all =) Size 2 is minimum.

I stay away from the <font size="12347890"> tags all together.

Instead, I use CSS styles and use either pt or px depending on what is called for.
