Stephan,
There is no way how to control exact font size in HTML or CSS.
If you really need a particular font face of an exact size, use
images, PDF, etc. Or wait until all browsers support embedded
fonts or at least the font-size-adjust property.
The most exact method now is using pixels, however it brings
some accessibility issues and still gets quite different
results, beacause of different font faces on the cilent side,
various screen resolutions, etc. Web is a dynamic, fluid medium,
there is no pixel-perfect design there.
Best,
Marek
