Slap.

What's wrong with that?

font: normal .68em / 1.6em georgia = font-size: 10px; line-height:
16px; font-family: georgia

body {... font: normal .68em / 1.6em georgia; word-spacing: 1px; ...}

..68em? Two-thirds of everyone's default size. I had to increase the
size about 130% before I could even read it. What is with the 1px
word-spacing?

You have forgotten a fall-back font family. Georgia, serif;

I doubt if you need all that absolute positioning. The page won't fit in
my fairly narrow browser window.

There is some kind of issue producing lots of errors. The more common
used W3C CSS validator chokes on it. This one can't handle it:

That said, would you recommend switching to something more like font-
size: 8pt; ?

font-size: 100%

Let the user determine the font size he wants.

No. You haven't read my other post(s) yet, I suppose.

Points are for printing.

Maybe it does on your box, but not on mine. BTW, I have a minimum font
size setting of 17px set in my browser. Don't assume every visitor to
your web site has the same settings as you.

Well, it's not valid mark-up for a start.
Here is an example from my main site.
font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;
text-align: left;
height: 10%;
width: 70%;
font-size: 100%;
float: right;
padding-bottom: 10px;
color: #000000;
padding-right: 1em;
padding-left: 1em;
display: block;
background-color: #cccccc;
}
#footer {
border: 3px solid #cc33cc;
clear: both;
text-align: center;
background-color: #6600cc;
