I prefer to use 'em' for horizontal stuff; special purpose fonts tend to 
have em values that are quite different from the pointsize, and generally 
in the horizontal case the em value is the one you really need. For
vertical things, I generally use the pointsize, but sometimes 'ex' is 
better (e.g. for positioning accents).
