My simple-minded approach to font sizes for web/ppt graphics is that if people can't read
it clearly, then it's too small. I'm sure there's some sort of Graphic Design Golden Rule
of ratios of font sizes that make things appear more aesthetically pleasing, but one
doesn't like to see people leaning forward in their seats to read graphics (be they
looking at their screen or a ppt presenation containing graphics.)

Unavoidable sometimes, I agree.

cheers,
