Two ways to deal with this: 1-Respect users' wishes as recorded in their prefs. Make your p text 1.0em, by setting no inherited sizes or body size at all. Browser font size prefs are there for a reason, so that users can adjust them according to their wishes and needs. 2-Follow the wiki instructions: http://css-discuss.incutio.com/?page=UsingEms -- "Be quick to listen, slow to speak."
