What browser?

Usually there's a bullet next to where you change it from the file menus.

Mozilla here, 100% (normal size)
Some sites require 120% though.

Medium for me; however, I am really cheating because I wear reading glasses now.

In the context of building Web Sites, where possible, I tend to use a larger font size (14) for standard text to make it easier for people with eye conditions.

I know they can change the settings in Browsers, but I like them to know I'm at least thinking of them. In addition, I always supply the information on the Web Site, for how to change the text size for both IE and Netscape.

So what do you suggest; while making webpages, should the fonts be at 12pt or 14pt?
