Is sizing text in pixels **still** considered a no-no?

   Of course.

I've seen sites recently that used px for font units and even in
Chrome (latest Mac and PC) the text did not scale when font sizes
were increased from default. Is this becoming the norm because of
zoom?

   Why force users to zoom?

   I don't use zoom because I have a minimum font-size set in my
   browser.

I ask because of a recent run-in with a layout that would
make accommodating font-scaling difficult.

   Then the layout needs to be fixed.
