Rem unit is perfectly fine in this case, as it computed value is based on the font-size (independently of which font-family is used). The cross-browser default is 16px for any given font, last I checked. OTOH, the used font-family may affect where elements end up on the page, at paint-time. A small font like Times will use less vertical pixel space then a large font like Verdana.
