Hi Magick,

Actually, this list is related to Web accessibility evaluation tools. Please see the WAI Interest Group mailing list for general questions:
  <http://www.w3.org/WAI/IG/>

Note: you can search the mail archives for previous discussion on your question. I seem to recall a discussion about em sizes for images vs fonts.

Regards,
  Shadi
