Petko its great that you have removed the use of absolute length, i.e. "pt", thanks.
I think that we should also consider consistently using em or %, not both. There are some subtle differences, see http://kyleschaeffer.com/user-experience/css-font-size-em-vs-px-vs-pt-vs/ and based on the above I'd suggest we consider using % throught all PmWiki CSS.
