To answer this, we need to agree on the definition of "size". Are we
talking number of pixels or number of millimetres?

The idea is that "Sans 24" should give you a font of the Sans Serif
family which should be 24/72 inches on all screens.

This happens because the 24 refers to number of points, not pixels. The
definition of a point is 1/72 inch. The actual number of pixels to use
it determined by the number of dots per inch (dpi) your display has.


Hope this helps..
