Au contraire. Relative font sizes are better in most cases. The whole point of HTML is to allow the end user to render the document in a way that's easiest for them to read. So, persons with vision disabilities (and those who just don't feel like straining their eyes to read a computer monitor all day long) will set the browser to use large fonts. But that gets shot to hell by persons who over-design pages by hard coding font sizes. The rendering of fonts set by "px" (which represents pixels) depends on the monitor's resolution. The higher the resolution, the smaller the font appears. This is very often the reason MANY MANY web pages have microscopic type on them.
