Andy Pemberton commented on JBPORTAL-1511:
------------------------------------------

There's some debate about whether em or percentage is the best method for setting relative font size. If you haven't already, check out the YUI font css library: http://developer.yahoo.com/yui/fonts/

It has a thoroughly tested method for "leveling" the font-size settings for all major browsers, including several versions of IE; it then recommends using percentage font-size settings throughout your CSS and estimates the expected pixel sizes for various percent values (eg: 13px == 100%, 14px == 108%, etc.).
