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 * selector is very slow, as the author of this bug in Chrome, I'd advise a workaround like this until the bug is fixed:

body > div {
    font-size: 1.4rem;
}

Provided you always have a wrapper div anyway ;)
