    I think 12px is great for redability while not looking too big, which makes text hard to read in my opinion.

    I would say typically 12px, however it depends on the font, width of the text area, and user.

    This really depends on the font doesn't it? After all, the legibility of fonts at the same pixel size varies considerably. I normally use a slightly larger size font for serifs than I would for sans-serifs.

    It depends on the type of font you're using. But I usually stick to 12 px.

    html {
    font-size: 100%; /* browser default, uisually 16px */
    }

    body {
    font-size: 75%; /* 12px */
    }

    h1 {
    font-size: 3em; /* 36px / 12 = 3em */ etc.
    }
