1. Well, a 12 should equal a 12 no matter what
But we're talking computer fonts, nu? If you are looking for something like a specimen book, I suggest the type section of Adobe's site. May I ask what the situation is? I may be of more help.

2. Computer fonts, yes.

I type and format documents at work a lot, and sometimes want to use something other than Times New Roman, but when I change to another font, even if it's 12 point, it's a lot bigger.

What I do is just experiment to see which font size is closest to TNR 12. I just thought it would be neat if there was a chart somewhere. :-)
