I'm giving the body a 1.4em so it will be like 14px.
It will be whatever follows from the browser settings.
I know 14px is not an optimal font-size, but we're not discussing
readability here.
Maybe you aren't, but it's still relevant that your setting will often
create that problem.
I'm doing this because my markup has nested sections and I can't use
section {font-size: 1.4em;} or can I?
Why would you want to?
What do you mean with that?
You haven't explained what you wish to accomplish, still less why you would
do that.
What is your reason for trying to enforce a font size other than the one
chosen by the user, and exactly how are you trying to accomplish that
mission? A URL would explain much more than snippets of code.
You originally wrote: "I've always used body {font-size: .625em;}". Are you
seriously saying that you always try to make the font size just 62.5% of the
user's preferred size? That would most commonly result in a size of 7.5pt,
which is surely too small to read at least as copy text size. Well, maybe
not to all people, but to the majority of mankind. So do you expect that
most people have set their browser's basic font size to essentially larger
than the factory default?
