Elements that can cause 'problems' are tables form elements and headings.All Other elements should be correct in relation to the body.

@WebJoelOct 19.2007 — #Defining font-size in "em" allows users to manually 'resize' font-sizes if they wish. With the appropriate mouse gestures, this can be 'tap the center-wheel and roll' maybe, to make the font-sizes larger or smaller. This is a good thing.

Stating the font-size first in a percent then re-state to an em-size, helps to maintain the math.. I am not 100% certain of how this is actually implemented, but if you state "font-size:64%" (or somewhere around that percent), and then re-state the font-size as "1.0em;", you make the 1.0em equal approx. 10px. "one em = 10px" is a good standard. I am almost certain that I'm leaving out an explanatory step here. This can be notable on H-tags.

I usually re-size to "font-size:100%" and then, re-state the font to the desired em-size. This helps all-browser font size rendering, -but this approach is still not quite perfect and I'm sure it is because I am not doing something correctly.

I prefer font-sizes in "em" value for the ability of the user to re-size, if desired. It is and can be necessary to state font-sizes for every or nearly every element, so if that is the problem, -we all do it.

@Major_PayneOct 20.2007 — #Here's a chart that converts points to pixels (and ems and %). It's an approximation, which will depend on font, browser and OS, but it's a good starting point.
