I tend to agree with Thomas Tanghus and Sebastian Kügler and am rather worried what such a change will do wrt accessibility. It also seems to divert from what the W3C recommends at http://www.w3.org/QA/Tips/font-size#goodcss Another point against px over em can be found here: http://stackoverflow.com/questions/609517/why-em-instead-of-px#609543 But I wouldn't mind being proven wrong. That _a_ site using 3 different devices looks the same, initially, doesn't equal proven in my view. When I wrote all my HTML and CSS by hand, I always tested my pages by resizing my browser window to all kind of sizes and at the minimum it had to degrade gracefully and the same would apply to zooming pages. > You don’t need to change every em value to px right now, but when > you write new code or touch old one, please use px. Wouldn't that lead to a whole bunch of subtle issues (/bug reports) when some things are expressed as px, while others are still using em? IMO changing from em to px is a big change and should be done at the very beginning of a new development cycle and be applied all at once (prepared in a branch).
