Cascading Stylesheets

Sizing up fonts using stylesheets.

Absolute sizing:
  • mm - millimeters
  • cm - centimeters
  • in - inches
  • pt - points
  • pc - picas

    Relative Sizing (according to the font):

  • em - element's font height, pixels)
  • ex - element's x-height
  • px - pixel

    Font Size (defined by):

  • points (pt)
  • pixels (px)
  • inches (in)
  • centimeters (cm)

    The advantage of using pixel height is that it is relatively
    uniform across PC and MAC platforms.
