I do this, but warn that it sometimes leads to sites breaking: text spilling out of boxes or getting obscured by running under other elements.

Web-designers: please make your sites robust to people picking their own fonts, and also robust to users enforcing a minimum font size!

This is exactly why anyone that says they are a web designer - yet does all their work in some 'pixel perfect' tool like Macromedia (or whatever the 'cool kids' use these days) is just deluding themselves.
