CSS and definition font-size inheritance?

[random1]

I have my stylesheet containing:

 

*
{
font-size:62.5%; /* sets 1em = 10px */
}

body
{
font-size:1.5em; /* sets default font size to 15px */
}

 

I then have in my HTML tags within the body tag like 'p' and 'div' but these remain tiny (1em or 10px).

 

How can I make it so that all content within the body tag inherits the font-size defined (1.5em)?

 

Is there a better way of doing this?

Make sure that the body is the first thing in the style sheet file.
