Dennison: Hmm, I haven’t had the chance to look into that (I observed the same thing with Adobe Fireworks). Off the top of my head, I would assume that font sizes in these applications are in points.

Pareng Brownspank, any tips on how to calculate the correct font size for a particular font size value in Adobe Photoshop? The problem I noticed is that it is very hard to find the right value to match with the HTML version any tips here?

Diona Kidd: I don't think there's a difference whether you put it in html or body; I just use body because that's where all the displayed content is located.

This was a really handy post today. I am starting to use the 62.5% reset more often. Does it make a difference if it’s on the html element as opposed to the body? I wouldn’t think so…

Btw, what would not be a descendant of the body?

Craig: I use it a lot, but the 62.5% trick is only good for children of the body element, and maybe descendant elements whose font-sizes haven't been explicitly set. Other elements will have to base their relative font-size on the nearest ancestor whose size is not the equivalent of 10px, which is where the equation comes in handy. Nevertheless, the 62.5% reset is a perfect companion to the presented equation.
