I have some extra information that may help.

Test this in Firefox:

<!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.01 Transitional//EN">

<html>

<head>

<title>Testing small font</title>

<style type="text/css">
body { font-size: 18pt }
</style>
</head>

<body>

Hello
</body>

</html>

Then, test it in Opera.

Change it to px and test it again.

Fonts in Opera is much bigger than Firefox in both cases.

On other platforms than Gutsy tribe 5, the font sizes in Firefox and Opera are equal.

If I change layout.css.dpi in Firefox to something other than -1 (which is the same as 96), I do not get the right sizes whatever size I set. It seems like there is some other value somewhere in the system that is also compensating for DPI.
