One example's here: [url=http://www.erik-enseleit.de/neu/]http://www.erik-enseleit.de/neu/[/url] While trying out several font sizes and units I noticed that Mozilla lets you resize the document's text no matter if its size is specified in an abolute (px) or relative (em) way, while IE only lets you resize text which has a relative size. So I thought, why not just stick to ems and let everyone resize it as they like? Now as a result of this I've got a page with font sizes set in ems and it's even looking the same in IE 6 and Mozilla when their text zoom is set to 100% / Default size. But somehow I seem to remember that at least some versions of IE don't have their font size setting set to "Default" by default. Or maybe I just made that up... Anyway, does anyone know more about this? Is it true? And if it is, is there some kind of workaround? I'd really like to know if relatively-sized texts are a thing to consider or to forget about nowadays ;) Thanks in advance for any information you might have.
