Topic on Talk:Editing/Projects/Font size in the editing window

Why is any font size in MediaWiki set in pixels? Fonts are probably the thing about page rendering that differs the most across different users (and sometimes for good reason, like accessibility). Shouldn't relative sizes (em, %) be used everywhere? (If fractional sizes are a problem, just use 100% and let users set the absolute sizes in their browsers — hardly anyone intentionally sets font sizes in fractions of a px.)
