What is the font size setting actually supposed to do?

In the editor settings, I have set my font size to 12 pt. However, this seems to do nothing whatsoever. While I can view my text in 12 pt in the editor, unless I explicitly choose 12 pt in the html editor itself, the output is in 8 pt. Why is it when I use the html editor here at Moodle, I don't have to do this, and what I type automatically is rendered as 12 pt? Is this something in the theme?
