It might have been a bit of effort to adjust, but it was worth it, right? Then it would help if you also were questioning your beliefs on using fixed pixels for font size. If you're designing responsively, you would likely have at least made the mental jump between designing with fixed-width containers to designing with % containers. But being frank I would rather change multiple fixed font sizes than figure out all the maths.Ī few things eventually guilted me into giving them another chance, and if you're still bloody-minded, consider the following: That's not to say I was dogmatic about ems I could appreciate the advantage of bumping font sizes in one go. I was in the 'I could do without the maths' camp. I've long resisted moving from Pixels to Ems. Well, maybe I wasn't ever that cynical, but I certainly put off looking at ems for a long time. Maybe you're scoffing pixel pies and laughing at the complicated em-based maths you'll find here. ![]() I mostly wanted to expand on these and cover a few different examples, and more importantly, some gotchas that stopped me picking this up as quickly as I should have.
