Yep this is what I have done for a long time. The support for the REM unit is now pretty much universal in modern UAs, except for bugs (one of which I found and reported on pre-IE11). And, in that case the REM unit was only being ignored for font-size.
If you have to support ancient UAs than use a fixed value fallback or an EM if you don't mind the hassle that imposes. But, of course that raises the question why support ancient UAs when their usage is so low these days? :-) > On July 25, 2014 at 7:39 AM Tom Livingston <tom...@gmail.com> wrote: > > > Lack of rem support is easily taken care of with a fallback declaration > using px: > > Font-size:16px; > Font-size:1rem; > > This allows MOST browsers to use a relative font unit - honoring a users > preference for font size - without the compounding issues (and any > other) of the em. > > > > -- > > Tom Livingston | Senior Front-End Developer | Media Logic | > ph: 518.456.3015x231 | fx: 518.456.4279 | mlinc.com > ______________________________________________________________________ > css-discuss [css-d@lists.css-discuss.org] > http://www.css-discuss.org/mailman/listinfo/css-d > List wiki/FAQ -- http://css-discuss.incutio.com/ > List policies -- http://css-discuss.org/policies.html > Supported by evolt.org -- http://www.evolt.org/help_support_evolt/ ______________________________________________________________________ css-discuss [css-d@lists.css-discuss.org] http://www.css-discuss.org/mailman/listinfo/css-d List wiki/FAQ -- http://css-discuss.incutio.com/ List policies -- http://css-discuss.org/policies.html Supported by evolt.org -- http://www.evolt.org/help_support_evolt/
