Post update: Pixel‐parity rems — tweak the base font size to scale everything in proportion at breakpoints: http://aralbalkan.com/notes/pixel-parity-rems/ …
@laurakalbag @LeaVerou …thanks for the heads up :) Would be nice to create a snopes for CSS to separate fact from folklore.

@aral it’s not folklore! That implies it was just made up with no rationality. -
@laurakalbag I’m not saying it’s made up. I’m saying I’d like a good reference to refer to. Will keep searching. -
@aral it would be one mega encyclopaedia if we had a reference article for every quirk we write into/avoid in our CSS. -
@laurakalbag I don’t see anything wrong with that. Would be a very useful resource :) -
@aral@laurakalbag@LeaVerou px weren’t zoomable in IE < 7. There are no accessibility issues in (more) modern browsers as they have zoom -
@yatil Are there any accessibility issues you know of in setting _root font size_ using pixels in modern browsers? +@laurakalbag@LeaVerou -
@aral@laurakalbag@LeaVerou …convert any px values to the minimum. If I set 14px, your 1px would be interpreted as 14px afaik. -
@yatil@laurakalbag@LeaVerou That’s the behaviour I’ve seen. Would be more correct if browsers applied min px setting to computed values… - 2 more replies

@aral you’re right that we should test these old techniques more. But most of the time, being accommodating doesn’t hurt.Thanks. Twitter will use this to make your timeline better. UndoUndo
