Not sure if this helps, but Tahoma is considered the most "on-screen" readable font, and a size 9 is quite legible yet allows good layout. That said, I tend to not hard-code font-sizes these days, accessability and all.

But if specifying a font-face within CSS, I just use sans-serif. Specify the family, not the exact face, that way no system assumptions are made.

I may be answering the wrong question here, but hope it helped.

Lucida Grande. It's the most legible font I've ever used. As for font sizes, I wouldn't actually specify a specific font size. Instead, use relative font units (such as em).

For serif fonts, I especially love Hoefler Text, but that isn't available on most Windows systems. Instead, Georgia is a good alternative. You could specify in the CSS a whole list, such as "Hoefler Text, Georgia, Times, serif".
