Website font type to large for iphone

Hey guys,

Is there a recommended type of font size i should be using?

as an example:

12pt, 12 px, 1ems etc?

The reason im asking is because I normally use pt and most of them time the font is to large on an iphone. I have been googling it and I keep find mixed feedback.

So im hoping some one here could point me in the right direction in which type of font size i should be using


thanks heaps

 

I have found that setting a base font of 13px/16px and then using em's to control the sizes of headings and fonts in the @media works best for most of the sites I code.

 

What do you mean by @media?

Also would that keep the text size the same weather on a pc or iPhone?

Thanks so much for your help.

I normally use pt so I guess I should fix everything and start using px ?

 

It's trial and error really. I tend to use slighty smaller size font and line height
