Every website that I've built for the last months have been in em's instead of pixels. Well, not completely, just the font size and line height. The advantage is working with em sizes is that your font sizes are scalable in Internet Explorer. On top of that it's much easier to offer a website in another font size by changing the base font size of the body-tag.
There's only one problem. If you have to work with a design in Photoshop, everything is measured in pixels. You have to do some math to convert those pixels to em's. Now you have scary pixel/em tables, but that won't work for me. So I decided to use my ASP.NET knowledge to create a Windows .NET application. It's my first app (so be gentle with me) but it does the job. I wrote the program just for me, but since there are a lot more who make web sites in em's I decided to throw it on the web. So here it is:
If you want to read more about using about using em instead of pixels, I recommend the following articles:

Is this calculator capable of dealing with the DPI of a Photoshop image? Because that influences the way the fonts are measured.
Also, on displays: on the Mac (76 PPI) and on the Windows (92 PPI) the result may not be what you desired.
Sorry for my late reaction. My blog is not connected to an email address that I use.
On a website you don't really have control over the DPI of the client, so you just have to choose a font size that's safe.

Hi electricspace, thanks for your reply. It's probably handy to add your blog to a monitored emailaddress. As you can see, messages you really don't want can crawl into your blog and place you into a bad light with the search engines and visitors.
Anyway, of course you don't have control over the dpi over the client, but resolutions are often below 100PPI (as I said: 76 PPI Mac, 92 PPI Windows by default). Photoshop uses printer resolutions, anything between 300DPI to 2400DPI (and beyond). It's important to take that into consideration, even if you don't know the _exact_ target PPI / DPI.
