If the user asks for general zoom in, they should get the 12pt face drawn larger. (Smaller faces tend to have larger 'holes' in them, and be a little 'fatter', for readability). I think this might be a philosophical difference but we (Gecko developers) feel pretty strongly that in this situation we should in fact use the 24pt font face instead of just upscaling the 12pt one, precisely because of the readability issue. -Boris
