    Hi there, I'm looking at the CSS stylesheet of the Genesis sample theme and noticed that font-sizes for h1, h2, h3, h4, h5, h6 are all stated in both px and rem. Eg.

    h1 {
    font-size: 36px;
    font-size: 3.6rem;
    }

    I don't understand why this is so? Why not just use either unit of measurement instead of both?
    Hoping somebody will explain this to me, thanks.

    I am slowly coming back to developing, and notice that new Genesis child themes remove rem already. So, should I use px only in CSS nowadays?

    Thanks.
