Geoffrey,
The fontsite dropdown renders the code as followings:
<font size=4>
Your text goes here
</font>
The SIZE attribute allows you to set your font to an abstract size ranging from 1 to 7. The exact type size corresponding to each of these values is left to your browser. You can't be sure, for example, that SIZE=4 will give you a 12 point typeface; you know only that SIZE=4 will be bigger than SIZE=3.
The table below shows the point size actually used on your Web page by the major browsers. Browsers listed as Microsoft Internet Explorer Version 5.0 (IE 5.0), Netscape Navigator Version 4.2 (NN 4.2) and Version 4.7 (NN 4.7).

This table shows, for example, that FONT SIZE=4 gives you a 12 point font under Microsoft Internet Explorer Version 5.0 on the PC. But this same browser on the iMac will give you a 14 point font!
If you do want to set the right size, you approach it is to make use of the Style menu and add a bunch of style items to it called "10pt", "12pt", etc, and then add styles to the stylesheet so they are set to the right size.
