depends on what you are trying to do ...

if you have a bit of content that you want to display in a rectangular
area on the side of the screen ...

stylsheets allow you tto specify this - and browsers without stylsheet
support will happily ignore you and still make sense of the page - but
NN4 has broken style  sheet support - it tries to do something and often
ends up layeing serveral bits of content on top of each other !

personally I've never had much problem with font size (but then I'm not
a designer) - though I prefer font sizes specified relativley as then I
can easily make the whole lot bigger or smaller just by pressing a
button on konqeror :)
