Hi,

Im using this font code on my site

```php
<font size="2" face="Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif">

```

I now have a lot of pages and I was thinking of switching to css. To make the work more easy.

I use this code

```php
font-family: Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; 
font-size: 12px;

```

But if I compare the font size it doesn’t seems to be the same.  
I think it’s because i use px in the second css code.  
I’d like to know how much pixels is font size=2 ?
