I thought all macs had a dpi of 72?

  Me, too. It could be that I'm just hallucinating, but it seems that a fair number of pages actually display too big since I changed that setting -- text on select lists especially got kinda big. It did help Bricolage's fonts not to appear puny, but I need to find some tuits to change its style sheet to use pixels instead of points for all of its font sizes.

    Again I could be wrong, but I though specifying font sizes in pixels rather than points (or perhaps ems or whatever the other measurements are that you can use) was another major no-no.

      If you're going to print, that's true. But for uniformity of on-screen display, it's a major benefit. See this article [apple.com].
