RE: [Phpwebsite-developers] Relative vs Fixed font size

[Darrel <da...@ii...>]

Hi Bob,

If you check out the W3C docs [1] on the subject they suggest to use the
"em" and "ex" units for relative sizing.

http://www.w3.org/TR/REC-CSS2/fonts.html

I'm very new here, so I don't expect my vote to count for much, but I
would recommend using relative font sizing instead of fixed.  More and
more people are starting to use non-PC devices to browse the web, TV's,
PDAs, WebPads.
