fonts: absolute vs percentage?

Our production person is having probs with fonts - in IE, pixel specified font sizes can't be zoomed for accessibility and the client has requested this.
So she has tried specifying percentages but the same percentages look different if they are in lists, body text or tables.
Anyone know why and how to fix?

How is your production person specifying the font size?
For best accesability options you really need to use CSS and check ou the W3C.org's checklist for accesability.
Doing it this way will avoid the font sizing issues you are exepriencing and also hit your clients accesability issues on the head at the same time

Hey Vespa,
Ems are good! Set the font size to 100% in the BODy tag and then set everything else in ems relative to that. I have used it here:
and it works..
