em or px

You should. The whole reason to use non pixel fonts is to allow people to use their browser's text resize feature.

 

So, try it yourself and test your layout. Use ems font-size in your current px layout, then in FF go to "view/text size/increase" Keep increasing until your layout blows up - if it doesn't then you don't need to revise your container dimensions.

 

I recommend that you get a copy of Bulletproof Web Design by Dan Cederholm - $26.95 US no shipping from Amazon. It goes into relative font sizing at great detail.
