>>You'll have to set font-size on td, for IE/win. Either way I still have the problem of the table cell text either appearing too large in ie, or too small in ff.
Without resorting to setting text size in pixels in my table, I can't find any other way to prevent this from happening, I thought perhaps there might be a hack out there that will pass 0.8em to ie, but not to firefox?

You should at least start by setting the base in '%', to avoid a buggy IE/win. The rest can be '%' or 'em'. The exact value is your choice, but browsers have different 'tip-over' points for recalculating '%' and 'em' to 'px' which they have to make all font-sizes fit into. Experiment a bit to hit the middle ground down the cascade. You'll have to set font-size on td, for IE/win.
