Formatting - setting font size to a percentage rather than a point size

[Matt Sullivan]

Hi Steve, 

I believe you'll want to use em as your font unit to more easily control relative sizes for output.

Also, check out the Technical Communications Suite Users Google group (tcs-users) for RH/FM integration info

To enable Web scaling of size (which is good for: the visually impaired, smartphones and tablets) we’d like to set the font sizes to percentages (for example, 100% =Body, Heading2 =120%, Heading1=140%). However, I can’t see/find out how to do this. The Paragraph and Character Designers only seem to allow you to set point sizes. The FrameMaker help mentions the ‘Font Pod’, but I couldn’t see/understand how this might be used. Any thoughts or suggestions would be very welcome.
