Chrome not respecting rem font size on body tag?

Question

I\'ve taken to using rem\'s to size fonts in recent projects, then using px as a fallback for older versions of IE.

I\'ve also been setting a font

Answer 1

The easiest solution that I have found is to simply change the body definition to

body {
    font-size: 1.4em;
}

Because it is the body, you don't have to worry about compounding – just use rems everywhere else.
