fixed font-size

We have a bunch of fixed font-size definitions in style.css. (12px, 
etc), can we have em's instead?

I'm worried about fonts, where people won't have a font for this exact 
size.
and the menu will look horrible. So if we can use em's everywhere that 
will be perfect.
Though I realize that we have a fixed menu width which won't play nice 
with em's.

What's the best practice?

we could, but i _think_ thomas decided/found out that if we
want the menu more or less fixed and within the gray area,
we cannot use relative sizes.

on the other hands its sort of in contradiction with regard
to what we already have elsewhere (and why we have it there).

so though i foresee some problems i am 
+1 to use ems for the menus also


ps. the font sizes for <br> cannot be relative
