No. Pixels seem to be pixels (the same physical size) on all screens. Points
- which are already different sizes per font - are seen as larger on Windows
than on the Mac. On Windows, 10 pts is the standard font size, corresponding
to about the same size as 12 pts on the Mac. 12 pts looks enormous to them.
By the same token 10 pts - which they invariably send - looks tiny on the
Mac. (Surely you've received those tiny blue Arial 10 pt messages from
Outlook?) In Entourage 10.1.4 and later those get translated to the
equivalent pixels which turns out to be 12 or so in Entourage.
