CSS will display on most browsers, if it is correct and validatable code. I once used 12 px instead of 12px, and found to my horror that Mac IE showed this as 1 pixel type.

I now tend to use em measurements (percentage will do the same) because this allows the user to set the browser to use "larger" fonts. If you set type as px or pt, this does not work any more, and the visually impaired cannot read the text.
