Intending for layout's to scale based on font size isn't such a good
idea for accessibility, it often leads to lots of horizontal scrolling
for those who need it most. See this for more explanation:

I posted a couple of days ago about trying to get a font-based layout
with a max-width of the window size. However, I couldn't get it working
in IE, which is what most people with visual impairments use (like the
general population).

Kind regards,
