David, Thanks for your response, I am surprised to see the rounding you have found but only slightly, heh. The article by Georg was also interesting thanks for the link. From reading it I get the sense that he is expecting that what we are intending is that the body text remain the 10px that setting it to 62.5% creates. Really what I am intending is to create a nice even number I can use to build a layout with. I counteract the 10px for the text size by setting the font-size on interior elements to my actual desired font size. My understanding was that by setting the base font size to 62.5% I made 1em = 10px so then I can use that to style my margins and etc in 10px increments using ems. I can also get 12px font by setting a font size of 1.2em on a container, 14px with 1.4em etc.
So it's really something I am doing to work my layout, not my fonts. The issue I was having was because of some local settings I had at some point changed where my font in safari was changed to a 14 point font rather than the default 16 I was expecting. Thanks so much.
