Nope. This is one a the few things missing w.r.t font sizing.

The other thing I miss is being able to restrict the width of an
element to a certain number of characters (only useful with fixed
width fonts).

I've heard it was considered, and not deemed useful. A problem would
be that you'd have to use a very small value for 'normal' text.

  body {font-size: 1.05%}
  h1 {font-size: 1.33%}
  h2 {font-size: 1.275%}
