My guess would be: No.

Even on a single platform, there are so many variables that affect
font sizes that no equivalence between font size and pixels can be
assumed - even if you specify font size in pixels!

I'm thinking: user settings (minimum font size; ignore specified font
sizes; zoom; or text size change); OS settings (DPI); and differences
between fonts themselves. (Not sure about this one.)

Then there are rounding differences, especially if a computer has not
got every singe font-size available in the font they wind up using.

But I did say I'm guessing.

Cordially,
David
