Of course, it may not be a great idea on all sites but I have successfully built a full site sizing everything in ems - this way the *entire* site scales as the text size changes. Also, you all probably know this (but just in case) - using font-family you get to specify a list of fonts and generic family names (like serif). The list is ordered by preference so the browser gets to pick the best fit. Mark
