G'day
Firstly, what kind of measurement is ex?

Relative units are:
em: the 'font-size' of the relevant font
ex: the 'x-height' of the relevant font
px: pixels, relative to the viewing device
I tend to use a
em: the 'font-size' of the relevant font
Not totally. An em is the width of (no shit!) an 'M' glyph. But the
rest is allright for me.

Hi folks,
My first post, since I've worked in print longer than web. In print, an

in a font. So they are appropriate to the task when used for that. They
have been slightly redefined for the web
