Re: [csswg-drafts] [css-fonts] Proposal to extend CSS font-optical-sizing (#4430)

Yes, this is exactly the kind of relative-size calculation @chrissam42 and I made [sizecalc.com](https://sizecalc.com) for.

That would be nice. However, the CSS spec [uses 28 inches](https://www.w3.org/TR/CSS22/syndata.html#img-pixel1) as the base viewing distance for its calculations, explicitly defining 1px as 0.0213 degrees (i.e. ~1.2789 arcminutes). As such, 4/3px only equals ~1.7052 arcminutes.
