This Design for Developers slide presentation has some rules of thumb on font choice and size. http://www.slideshare.net/Wolfr/design-for-developersonlineversionlong http://www.slideshare.net/Wolfr/design-for-developersonlinev... (think this has been shared on HN before)
These are the notes I made on fonts after reading it:
Readable typeface choices: Verdana, Lucida Grande (fallback Lucida Sans Unicode), Droid Sans, Segoe UI
All text that is supposed to be read should be at least 14px
Interface (button/menu) text can go smaller for readable fonts (11, 12, 13px)
A line of text should not be longer than 60 characters (~ 2 alphabets). Long lines are hard to read.
Line height makes big difference. Use line-height 1.1 for headings, 1.5 for paragraphs
