Hello,

More than a question, I want some opinions here. I usually design my
websites with "em" sizes, but it seems that they don't rener well in
IE7 or Safari. How are you dealing with this?

Whichever font works best for the design, that is also readable

(all our sites are Flash based )

Using em units causes a bug in IE6 and lower (maybe 7 as well) to go
horribly wrong when a visitor tries to increase or decrease size to what
is comfortable for them. Use percentages instead.

Yes, actually, my website renders very small fonts in IE7 and
Konqueror, while in IE6, Firefox & Opera, I get the result I want. Can
I solve that with percentages?

If you use percentages, all visitors will see your site in their chosen
default font size.

If your own IE7 and Konqueror are too small, increase your default size
in those browsers. Set it to the same as you have in the other three.
