Just to clear up my confusion.

I've been in the habit of setting font-size on body to 100.01% because AIUI it stops IE doing silly small font sizes when you use ems elsewhere and the .01 is for Opera and a weird rounding issue.

recently I picked up the habit of setting body to 62.5% from http://www.clagnut.com/blog/348/


which I think is wrong, from what I'm hearing & seeing recently...

is it okay to set body to 100.01% and then use ems on elements to meet the designers whim?

maybe I don't mean *okay* per se,[1] but assuming I have to set a font size to meet a clients brief, which would be the most respectful way?

100.01% on body and elements sized using ems (by trial and error) or some other way?

bearing in mind that I'm working remotely from the designer client, who is often designing on a Mac what settings would let me choose font sizes that would look like they match the visual I'm working to, without causing problems for users with different preferences?



TIA


[1] I assume not setting any size is best, but in the real world my income depends on making web sites match a signed off visual
