I never really dug into this issue in great detail before but I just tested my company's site with different default font sizes and the text set in px doesn't change size. Only the text that has fonts set in em or % change. So it seems to me that setting in px would make it that size for everyone. The site I am testing with has a reset stylesheet but it decalres font-size: 100% so I can't see that affecting it. Am I missing something?
