You know, there's a reason people avoid px-based measurements, especially for fonts (and line-height as well). IE does not respect users' font size preferences for fonts given absolute sizes (px, pt, in, etc.). This is reportedly true even in IE7, although that does have a (misconceived and arguably useless) page zoom feature that can overcome this limitation. It's not really acceptable for accessibility to use absolute units for font-related measurements; use ems. For things like the width of boxes, logically then you'd also want to use ems, because it doesn't help much to have a larger font that doesn't fit. For stuff like borders it doesn't matter much, though.
