I'm using System.Drawing.Font to apply css to some html elements. I see that the resultant css has font-size always in px for eg font-size: 16px; . I want the font-size in em for eg font-size: 1em; .

The reason why I want the css in em is because only in this case , change in font-size in browser settings will reflect in any web-page.

Please let me know what needs to be changed to get the font-size css in em.

What I have tried:

I've tried using different GraphicsUnit options like point,pixel etc but the css always remains as px

Solution 1

Set your body font size in px, and that's 1em throughout the document. You can then make your font sizes in the rest of your css in em.

Nit-picking: em is relative to the parent element's font size. To match the body font size throughout the document, you'd need to use rem.
