Hopefully other users can see the simple calculation to get some rules of thumb on the size comparison of points to pixels.

Ingo, in typography there are 72 points to the inch. In CSS, there are 96 pixels to the inch.
4px=3pt.

Trust me I had the same mindset problem of points and pixels. It took awhile to get used to the difference of conversion. Being a fellow Ontarian, do you remember when Canada changed from Imperial units to Metric. At that time I had to work with both. Ended becoming a engineer. Boy were those conversions fun, but eventually came around to a Metric mind.

No - I emigrated to Canada in 1991, so missed the switch over. In England, I worked in metric exclusively. However, I'm a residential CAD draftsman, and in Canada, we work SOLELY in imperial, as ALL construction materials in Canada are still in imperial sizes, due to trade with the US.
