If you are using CSS to style your text, then use <i>pixels</i> as your size units.

Or images too. If you use images, remember to use <i>alt</i> text.

I had always been under the impression that using <i>pixel</i> units in CSS for text actually limits it to only that pixel size(s), and <i>%</i> & <i>em</i> units allow the user to change the text size with their browser.

For reference, why would you want the prevent the user from changing text size, as allowing users is a Web Accessibility requirement.
