Trying to streamline my stylesheets and was curious if anyone could tell me which font property is better (cross-platform, browser): pixels vs. points?
Also, Has anyone found any bugs w/ Netscape 6 and CSS, especially for Macs?

meztec...if you are worried about font issues, then your best bet for cross-browser viewing would be to use either em or pt.
The W3 recommends using EM as it sidesteps the whole Mac/PC/Linux isse and bases the size of the font on the metrics of the font itself. Thus 1 EM (which stands for M space) is the default size and 2 em is twice the size etc.
