hi everyone: what's the latest for using pixels to size text. i'm
doing some work for someone and she wants me to use pixels and i really
feel adverse to it - rather use "em" or "%". the only downside i can
see is that the font size can't be increased using IE (but most people
would use zoom anyway).

i "think" that pixels have been redeemed lately regarding accessibility,
but i don't know the details. any information, or links, appreciated.

best
