o/p
The FontSize property defaults to pixels when a unit qualifier is not specified (in passing, note that Silverlight only supports pixels).
The pt
unit qualifier means the value in specified in points, a resolution-independent unit defined as 1/72 of an inch. That's why the resulting size is larger: for instance, on a WPF display surface, 25pt
is roughly equivalent to 33px
, because WPF always provides 96 DPI surfaces.

states "An unqualified value is measured in device independent pixels." which is the px
unit
