> This PR supersedes #2223. > The original PR was created from master, whereas this PR is created from a > fresh branch. > > Below is a copy of the original description, but as @mrserb correctly > [pointed > out](https://github.com/openjdk/jdk/pull/2223#issuecomment-767048399), there > is actually no relevant change from CSS 2.1 to CSS 2.2, so I <strike>striked > out</strike> that part. > > ### Original Description > > @prsadhuk asked me to take over his pull request #1628, since I filed the bug > an suggested this fix. > > I thought the current behavior would be buggy, but actually the units are > quite precise. I checked the size of a text in font-size of 1 in, and it > really was approximately 1 inch. The problem is just that browsers behave > differently. > > <strike> > Swing follows the CSS 2.1 spec: > https://www.w3.org/TR/CSS21/syndata.html#length-units. > But in CSS 2.2, length units where redefined: > https://www.w3.org/TR/CSS22/syndata.html#length-units. > Now px is also an absolute unit, and there are constant conversion factors > between all absolute units. > > The CSS 2.2 spec includes the following two notes regarding this change: > > Note that if the anchor unit is the pixel unit, the physical units might > not match their physical measurements. Alternatively if the anchor unit is a > physical unit, the pixel unit might not map to a whole number of device > pixels. > > Note that this definition of the pixel unit and the physical units > differs from previous versions of CSS. In particular, in previous versions of > CSS the pixel unit and the physical units were not related by a fixed ratio: > the physical units were always tied to their physical measurements while the > pixel unit would vary to most closely match the reference pixel. (This change > was made because too much existing content relies on the assumption of 96dpi, > and breaking that assumption breaks the content.) > > So the spec changed the behavior to better support high-DPI devices with > existing content, and that is exactly my intention with this PR as well. > </strike>
