Just test it. Go to http://riddle.pl/emcalc/. * Choose the Settings option * Change the Default font size to any value you wish. Let's say 30. * Enter value 30 in the body box below the Default font settings and you'll find that it also equals 1em. This is true for any px value you enter. Using 16px=1em is inaccurate as a determinate basis for changing px to em. (x)px=1em for any default browser font setting value, (x) . Same goes for using percents. Font sizes set at 100% will render the brower's default font size the same as 1em so that (x)px=1em=100% for any value (x). @
