1pt == 1/72 inch (device independent for physical size) 1px == 1 pixel (device dependent for physical size) My personal preference would be to suggest using pt. On a machine with "small fonts" Windows uses 72dpi as screen resolution, with "large fonts" it uses 96dpi. With a quick bit of maths, you can see that 1px = 1pt (on small fonts) and if you use large fonts, then the conversion is 1px = 0.75pt -----Original Message----- From: Gray Jonathan-AJG003C [mailto:ajg003c@email.mot.com] Sent: 27 July 2000 08:35 To: www-html@w3.org Subject: pt and px Can someone help me with the difference between px and pt. I am using style sheets and it appears that px - pixels and pt points. They are not the same ? Cheers ! Any suggestions on the use of a java script font resizer would also be apreciated. !Received on Thursday, 27 July 2000 04:49:25 UTC
