It''s not so much what units you choose to use to specify font-sizes in CSS -- the issue is MSIE. It makes accessibility an issue when using px and it screws-up font re-sizing using em''s. I would also submit that there is no right or wrong in this debate, which I think was Joe''s ultimate point. The what-font-size-unit-should-I-use is the web designer''s holy war equivalent to the MySQL v. PosgreSQL debate. :-)
