thumbs up for this!
good find. Save me a lot of time explaining to the boss why to use a particular font size specifier (vs using px)
i agree
Although I think this is a really useful article, after reading it I realise how little of it I’ve ever really considered.
I’m often lazy when it comes to font-sizes and always slap them up at 11px / 23px etc. Sometimes if I’m working with someone else using ems, I’ll still go ahead and use px. I’m using this as a sort of confessional booth. I’m sorry!
Hence the reason I’ve posted it, it’s most certainly taught me a lesson and I hope it will others.
Go forth and sin no more my son.
p.s. say ten ‘Hail Marys’ and your rosary twice.
