Is it better to use ems/rems than px for font-size?

Post by Accrete »

Are you still using px for font-size and other things?
...it's still worth setting all your type (both font-size and line-height) in relative units because:

1. setting type in px prevents browser settings from making font size adjustments (which some people definitely use) and
2. setting type in relative units maintains greater design fidelity as users use browser zoom (which a lot of people definitely use).
