- fonts in em or rem - padding, margin in %, vw, vh... using relative measurements helps for responsive design

The units are different for a reason. They all have different use cases. Use px, rem, em, etc. Use % or a viewport unit for most other cases.

2 diferents types of font size: relative(%) and fixed. Use pt if you are familiar with font or px for any. For responsive use %, but be carefull.

% have problem when you mix with px or another fixed. Math problem. | 20px-80% | never 100% if you are using %, use that for everything, margin padding...or =0
