Correct that example URL to https://www.gallupstrengthscenter.com/ ... The same
inflation occurs on the GSC site. And it happens whether I put everything to
em's, strip out the IE cascade, put all the media queries to em's or rem's.
The design stays proportional and does not break, it just
Not sure, but I have a feeling the answer to what is happening can be

If so, it is an old problem that reappears in a new form, caused by the
fact that you start small on font-size and then size up further in.

Tom,
Setting the root element's font-size to 62.5% results in a REM unit being equal
to 10px assuming that the users UAr default font-size is set to 16px which what
overwhelming majority of browsers in the wild are set to. Some folks prefer to
do it this way because it's easy to think in base 10.

Please forgive the impertinent lurker here, but could somebody weigh in
with why relative measures are necessary when the desired outcome is
pixel-level accuracy?

Hello Elizabeth,
I tested again this time using FF28 latest Chrome, Canary and IE10 (will boot
Win7 later to check IE11). The results are the same - the only diffs I see are
due to font rendering as far as I can tell.
Based on the material the Philippe posted there may be an issue when using a

I've tested on Win8 and reported my findings. I'll test later on Win7, but I
seriously doubt there will be a diff. Especially on my standard density

Of course, they don't offer Firefox 28 for the screen shots, so I
guess those screens are of no help anyway.
