OK - so is there a formula to work out PX to EM ? (at least on a "vanilla" type of setup). And I am not sure what you were saying in the line that had (60em) in it. On the JavaScript front..... that is something I want to avoid. I was not even sure I could play around with the font size in JavaScript - but I would not consider this to be "standard". And, in any case, the user can supplant my stylesheet with one of their own (and that would be even uglier than turning off stylesheets alltogether). At least I have tried to lay out the pages so they will degrade reasonably with no stylesheet. I would not like to see what would happen if the user used a stylesheet of their own. The "A+ and a-" bit.... you mean some JavaScript trickery to size the fonts and place some "bean" in their cookies that my JS uses as a seed for a starting size? Again - don't like the idea of all that JS to play with something that is (obviously) getting too close to "Don't change what the browser does". That being the case - I might as well go with PX and be done with it (not saying I will - but saying that if I have to do all of the above to get back the control then I might as well make my life a lot easier and go with fixed sizes).
