I can see some cases where you might choose font sizes differently on low-res devices, where the font size /has/ to be larger to be readable. But I agree that in cases where the resolution is high enough that that doesn't matter, you're better off selecting font sizes based on information other than the screen resolution. Size of the screen, for instance, or distance-to-viewers-eyes (billboards vs. handhelds). ~fantasai
