My personal preference is to use ems for font-size on individual elements
and set body font-size to suit.
that way you can tweak one parameter and all the settings resize in
proportion.
see:
http://css-discuss.incutio.com/?page=UsingEms
don't forget that CSS multiplies(?) sizes when you put block elements
inside other block elements
so body font-size 100%
div content font size .9em
p font size .8 em
will give you 90% in the div and 80% of 90% in the p inside the div
(poorly explained, hopefully you'll get the drift?)
