Yep. Both approaches work but I don't allow my students to use 
old-style HTML 3.2 tags like "FONT", so we just use percentages or EMs 
in stylesheets.

It's really challenging for a lot of designers when they start to get 
into web design to accept that the end user ultimately has control and 
that you have to be willing to design your pages to work *with* that 
fact, rather than trying to enforce your design ideas absolutely on 
users.

It's why Buddhists make better web designers ;-)
