Thread: Percent vs Em?

I have a question regarding standards and support in browsers. I've read that using em with measurements is good common practice for text layout because it renders consistently. I've also read that percent yields better results for those with customized settings on text view in their browsers.

ES has done such a nice job of compensating for little quirks browsers have that render things inaccurately, do you guys have a recommendation between percent and em?

I'm getting the impression that if I use em and the user increases display size in their browser that my layout is less likely to break than if I use percent -- is this right or wrong?

Thanks for all the help!

Best,
Jordan
