Only if you set the size in ems or percentage. As I recall, IE sets its header default sizes in points, for example, so they wouldn't be affected by the .8em. You could use points, pixels, mm, or absolute keywords (among others) without worrying about inheritance. >This kinda bugs me, is there some other approach to be able to use >consistent font sizes I'm not sure I understand the problem. You can always reset the relative font sizes, if you are willing to do a little math. If you set the font size to .8em on the TD, for example, and you want to get a font size of, say, 1.25 times the original value, just set the value to 1.25/.8 = 1.5625em. (Presumably you can round that a little.) It is perfectly consistent. If you are planning to change the font size of an outer element, of course, you'll need to recalculate the value for the inner element, as well. I guess from that standpoint it isn't maintenance friendly. But if you are going more than a level or too deep, you probably need to rethink your design, anyway. Font-size should be set sparingly.
