micro-question about em's

[Redd4]

guys, I just want to make sure of something, it seems that i can specify that i want a font to be 1.05em

as in, i can specify it to 2 decimal places, which is handy for fine tuning. is this correct?

cheers for reading,
redd

Yes but eventually all units are translated into pixels and there can only be full pixels. So, if 1.05em = 16.223px then the browser decides to which next full value to round it to (in this case it’s most likely gonna be 16px). Some browsers are a little better in fine tuning text but some aren’t so you shouldn’t be that picky.

That level of precision in your em sizes will only make a difference where 1em >= 20px
