Question about using the "em" unit to set font sizes in a web page

Advertisements [?]

I'm setting all my font sizes in my CSS with the "em" unit (so that they can become larger, smaller, depending on viewer's browser.

What's happening is that whenever I set a link to a font that's sized with ems (assigning the style to the TD that holds the link), the font in the link becomes extremely tiny.

Any idea why that's happening?

I thought it might be an inheritance thing, but there's nothing around that I can find.

thanks for any info on this.
