Ditto. (Hi, Donna!--Hitch waves...nice to see you on a civilized forum! Kids, Donna knows her Fu).

I've had good luck with using ems, and it translates nicely across multiple platforms, since I make all my books from ePUBs first with both "normal" css and an ADE xpgt template for fun. (har).

HTH,
