Correct me if I am wrong, but if your working with % percentage, does that mean that in some browsers the font size can be bigger or smaller than intended? Thats what I understoud from the article that Russ send me the link of.

Hey Taco The general idea that we stick to in here is that % or ems are best. This is to work around a "bug" in IE/WIN that prevents px based fonts being resized easily. It is still possible to resize px fonts in IE but you have to dig around in the menu rather than using ctrl+scrolly mouse. Perfect case of theoretical accessibility vs. real life accessibility. Using pt for fonts on the web is a mistake. Points are a unit for measuring fonts on paper and do not adapt well to the complexities of screen resolution, etc..
