 Works for me.  How is it for uploading images?
I would like to make slightly more elaborate examples,
showing the woes of gradients and pastel colours after
heavy compression.

 As a rule of thumb, yes.

For slides prepared at 800x600, 24pt will do quite nicely, if the
contrast is good and the fonts are quite fat.  However, presenters
will likely have 1024x768 or bigger screens on their laptop, so
32pt will be closer to the sweet spot.
