Strange that the vendors should have ganged-up to so affront your
sense of what is right, isn't it?
As it happens, I usually configure my browsers to default to a sans
font (in fact, one with a good character repertoire, which is rather
more important to me than cosmetics): but if all those readers choose
a vendor who chooses a serif font for them - and at the "wrong" size
too, by your standards - who are we to argue? There might be
something in it.

As I hinted before: it seems you don't trust the vendors which your
readers have chosen. There must be a message in that.
But maybe your readers have their own opinions. The more discerning
ones have already chosen the font and body size that they prefer.
Maybe you don't care about discerning readers?
If you design your pages right, they'll have no difficulty adapting
themselves to the vendors' defaults too, if that's what the reader
accepted.

Oh please, don't start on *that* again! Next you'll be telling us all
to specify Verdana.
