      @laurakalbag @LeaVerou I find lots of hearsay around CSS, some of which is outdated and some just plain wrong. Will test and see…

      @aral What do you need to know? I happen to be doing CSS unit tests at this very moment.

      @ppk Ooh :) Just what impact setting the root font size in pixels instead of percentages has on being able to scale text in browsers.

      @aral You don't want to set the root font size, right? Just use it with rem units. rems are not supported by IE8 and lower.

      Replying to @ppk

      @ppk I tweak the root not size at breakpoints to make the whole design (specified in rems) scale up and down in proportion.

      @aral And I found no problems in supporting desktop browsers. So I guess it should work.

          @aral I just think you should set the HTML element's font-size in pixels, just to be safe. But you were doing that already.

          @aral Anything can go wrong. px is the root unit, so keep to that one. But it's just a safety measure.
