	I don't know about the IE base font question, but you might find
	these helpful:

             four browser/platform combinations: IE 5/Mac, Navigator
             4.7/Mac, IE 5.5/PC, and Navigator 4.7/PC. Each font has
             examples of sizes specified in points, pixels, and basic
             HTML font tags to illustrate how font rendering 
             characteristics can affect page appearance.
