For rather large banner text on the tops of some pages, would it be better 
to define heights/sizes in pixels?

Noted.....

so...

Q1 what/where would 100% be ( what "size" is the default derived from usually?)

looks ike this CSS change can be easily implemented!!!!!

Sorry to be such a klutz on this one, I might just try removing the H1 css 
references and replacing the point calls
with percentages

http://www.elsid.co.za/download/css_fontsizes.htm   is excellent

Question 2: If I had to choose one system, what would be best?

#1 Absolute font size, large x large, xxlarge
#2 Percentaging (%)
or #3 Relative units, 0.5em, 0.75em     t

I need to revise the CSS on 3 sites :)
