Default Font Sizes in <font> or CSS

Once again I am trying to convert old HTML code with <font> tags to CSS.

I am trying to get the code using CSS to look like the code using <font> tags in the browsers, especially IE6 and FF1.51. My current problem is with font sizes. I tried to compare font sizes 5 and 6 with equivalents in CSS using px values. The code below shows my test. The images below show that the result in MSIE6 (shown first) is different from Firefox 1.51 (shown second).

Identical code in Dreamweaver MX is shown by the two browsers.

Hmmmm.
