What flexible method do you use to give scalability to your users?

I've created a poll to track your answers.

Will be interesting to see what ppl say.

I voted for the keyword/percentage combo, which I use quite a bit, but I find that I use other techniques also. I guess I haven't really settled on one particular one as my favorite yet.

Good Idea to post a comment here explaining your choice.

I work with a designer that is very precise with using crazy font sizes all over his layout. Wish I could get him to standardize at least his headings.

Thats why I found using the 62.5% method is quickest for me. Although the first chapter did teach me about alternative ways to having flexible text sizes.

ps. kday, you are the admin of this forum I'm assuming. Can you edit my original post a hyperlink that poll link (I forgot to).

Yeah, it definitely can be a headache to manage non-standard font sizes. I sometimes get mixed up when I switch between projects. I should probably standardize on one myself. Good idea to post a poll on the subject. I'm curious to see what others vote for.

I've edited your original post to include the link. I'm working on forum post editing and it should be available soon.

I use the keyword/percentage combo as I find it easiest to implement and maintain. Since I'm merely a beginner/hobbyist I haven't had the chance to actually use the 62.5% method other than when going through the lesson
