j22cal Posted March 31, 2010 Report Share Posted March 31, 2010 I have been setting a font-size percentage in the body tag and working with "em" font sizes. With the newer browser's that just use zoom and re-size the whole page, is it a better idea to just use pixels (px) for font sizes? Or would it be a good idea to continue using em sizes to support IE6/7? What do you do? Thanks! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NuCoder Posted April 6, 2010 Report Share Posted April 6, 2010 (edited) You may want to consider using ems for your font sizes. Reason for this is if you are using px - the font will not change if the user changes their font settings..

LSW Posted April 7, 2010 Report Share Posted April 7, 2010 For the accessibility for poor sighted users or people simply with other preferences... I would agree with NuCoder... continue using EM or switch to % 1 em = 100% = chosen default size for the chosen font chosen by the user. .8 em = 80% of the users chosen defaults 1.2 em = 120% of the users chosen default settings.
