One thought on “CSS: Points, Pixels, Ems, Percent Matrix

  1. Interesting, but surely these values vary significantly according to:

    – Screen resolution (e.g., the pixel sizes).
    – Default font-size (affected by browser, OS, etc).

    The percent column presumably shows the percent relative to the default size? Again, this will vary.

    Cheers, BJ
