If you are using em with font-size is there is a way to clear the font-size

No, not really.
I normally get around this by only setting font-size in two places, as
a general rule (which always has exceptions, but very careful ones :))
The two places are:
- on the body tag, eg
body {
font-size: 90.1%;
}
- on leaf elements, ie. I will rarely set something like:
#wrapper {
font-size: 0.9em;
}
I am more likely to put:
h1 {
font-size: 1.6em;
}
and
div.subnote {
font-size: 0.9em;
}
Both of these will be 'leaves' in the DOM, ie they will not have any
children (except maybe a span)
HIH!

I'm just wondering how people handle the IE text resizing problem, where
IE handles percentages much more accurately than em?
It would be more ideal to us em, but it seems more practical to use
percentages for better accuracy of font scaling? What do others think?
