I'm confused on CSS units of measurement now...

After reading all the latest emails on it, I am still somewhat confused.
Here's what I gather:

Pixels for font size are not recommended anymore - mainly because IE can't
resize that text, if someone with visual impairments wants to make it
bigger?

Ems are preferred, because you can set percents, which scale better.

Does anyone have a good link to a CSS page with some examples, showing a
good CSS layout for accessibility?
