No - I thought the advantage of using ems was so that you could adjust the text size, but you can still with px and pt (Hold down CTR and mouse wheel)

Are you sure about that?  Doesn't resize for me with fixed font sizes. They're not so good for anyone with poor eyesight

I try to use em's wherever possible.  I really can resize the text on my home page : www.obrienit.se

It's definitely resizing on PokerDIY (recently changed to 12px) - I'll try IE...

*sigh* - Yes, it's FireFox only... will change to em then!

Hmm - it seems as though my skin (Pyramid) was not designed for handling em - the headings are out of proportion to the rest of the text (with 1em). I don't want to start changing all the font sizes for each element...

I generally do domething like this below.  I like to set a base font size in the body (I've tried using both ems and px - either seems to work ok) Then set font size for all other styles in terms of percentage - If I want to change the over-all font sizes of the whole site, all I need  to do is change the base font size (in this case 18px) in the body tag.

I only specify absolute font sizes in the style sheet that will be used for printing - then I give an absolute value for each font style (using  pt).


body {
    margin: 0;
    text-align: center;
    height: 100%;
    padding-top: 10px;
    color: #000;
    background: #fff;
    font: 18px/1.0 Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;}

h1, h2, h3, h4, h5, h6  {
    font-family: Tahoma, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;
}
h1 {
    /*font-size:  20px equivelant;*/
    font-size: 125%;
    font-weight: normal;
    color: #000;}
   
h2 {
    font: normal italic 120%;
    color: #666644;
}

p {font: normal normal  100% verdana, geneva, arial, Helvitica, sans-serif;}
