Hi,
I got an impression that setting 100.1% fontsize in body tag is a
better approach and have been doing so for many sites. Also, with the
100.1% in the body, I usually declare .85em (.95 for my site as I
love big fontsize :) ) for paragraph and lists. I also find that I
get a more stable, closer fontsize across browsers.
Working on a project, client has the fontsize declared at 62.5%, and
the paragraph, nav list at 1em. It works ok for most part, my
responsible is to clean up all messy code and restructure the layout
structure. I had the fontsize changed to 100.1% which affected many
elements, so I changed it to 70% and adjust fontsizes in other
elements accordingly, but suggested client to go with 100.1% so that
I can rework the font size in every elements. The tab nav that is at
1em, break to second line in Opera, and the fontsize appears to be 3
or 4px bigger than other browsers (however the 1em in p more or less
the same. I aware that Opera often makes the size a bit bigger but
this is a bit unusual for me. If I change the 62.5 to 100.1, nothing
gets change for the Tab nav in Opera, it still shows 3/4px bigger
than other browsers but the second level link text shrinks to like 4
or 5 pixel in IE, thus making it impossible to read.
Client sent me this link, kind of suggesting that 62.5% is the better
approach because his client isn't happy that now the heading texts
are too small and the paragraph texts are too big due to the changes
I made.
