Hi Pancake,
If you read the CSS spec carefully, you would find that on a screen,
these real-world units doesn't have to be sized in the same way on a
physical ruler (though on paper it should).
http://www.w3.org/TR/CSS21/syndata.html#length-units
If you are looking to size an HTML element with physical size, the
non-standard mozmm is the unit you are looking for -- but I am pretty
sure we didn't set the Gecko pref() right on all devices for all FxOS
devices. We should file bugs on that.
MDN is more understandable than the spec on this topic:
https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/CSS/length
I've tested mozmm on desktop (looks fine), but it doesnt works fine on
Peak or Keon. Should I fill a bug for that?
In the "browser compatibility" doesnt appears 'mozmm', but testing on
iphone it's not supoprted (acording to this table, mozmm should work on
safari too) (mobile safari is not listed).
Is this a bug in the configuration of the keon/peak? or should i avoid
depending on phisical sizes? I don't understand why 'cm' or 'in' units
exists in CSS if they are not honored on any platform/browser..
The other way I thought is .. make this device-independent. But I will
need a way to know in which device I'm running. Which API should I use
to get this information?
Thanks
