Hi Terry
surely this is the other way round? specifying font size in pixels
would cause actual size to
vary depending on the dots-per-inch of the display, which can vary wildly
...
... but a point size is an absolute scale - a (typographical) point is
1/72.27 of an inch, if I
recall my Knuth correctly.
However I am sure it is true that people nowadays use different devices,
with different
resolutions (DPI), at different distances to the eye. I imagine that they
would like to have 'the same'
setting work in a equivalent way in each scenario. Probably this would have
to be some sort
of 'angle subtended to the eyeball' scale, which is neither px or pts.
Sorry, that wasn't much help, was it? ;-/
Cheers
jon N
