Best not to rely heavily on particular fonts or sizes. If a
website starts looking ghastly because a user has not got a
particular specified font or needs it at a different size to the
one specified then so much worse for the website design. It is
instructive to try your hand at simply not specifying a font
family at all (besides the generic ones like 'sans-serif'...)
To do the best job possible, it helps to have some sort of idea
of what is out there: probably a big cluster of folk on 15" to
19" screens with many of the fonts you have, smaller clusters of
people on other screens or readers, some with eyesight needs
quite different to yours and so on... If you make it nice for a
lot of folk, and useable (to extract important info) for the
rest, then you will do well...
