So I've been doing a lot of reading, and I've been seeing that using em's are most ideal if you want to increase the accessibility of your site. As much as I'd like to use it, I'll be uncomfortable with it since it all depends on user preferences, which could just kill the whole look of my site layout. So all this time, I've been using points for fonts, though I read somewhere that they fonts with points don't show up the same in all browsers? But anyway, what do you think is the best unit for fonts?[/nerd]

On a sidenote...I noticed that Dreamweaver CS3 actually uses percents for their fonts. I didn't even know you could do that.
