> @Lorp in your [May 12 proposal](https://github.com/w3c/csswg-drafts/issues/4430#issuecomment-840207323) am I correctly understanding that you are proposing **no changes to all current browser implementations**? No, I’m proposing **no changes to default behaviour in currrent Apple browser implementations**. > First, I think @litherum 's [issue 1102532 on the Chromium bug tracker](https://bugs.chromium.org/p/chromium/issues/detail?id=1102532), proposing Chromium use CSS pt on Windows instead of px, be closed as "WAI". (While @litherum chose to make Webkit/Safari on macOS apply `opsz` consistently with native macOS apps rendered directly with Cocoa/CoreText, it makes sense to me that cross platform browsers like Chromium will choose cross platform consistency over matching local platforms.) I’m no expert on cross-platform philosophy, but it seems a pity if content creators have to bear in mind a sporadic 4/3 factor if they care about precise glyph shapes, even when they specify font size and know the size of device they’re dealing with. > Second, I now advocate updating the OpenType spec to document what is actually implemented. @Lorp put it concisely: > > > * opsz = font-size in px for screen media > > * opsz = font-size in pt for print media I’m not sure about it going into the spec like that, even if it is universal behaviour in browsers. It’s very much a CSS thing, and OpenType is not beholden to CSS, is it? It makes sense for such a compromised implementation to remain browsers’ default only if it’s easy to customize. And BTW there’s no real reason it needs to remain the default forever. -- GitHub Notification of comment by Lorp Please view or discuss this issue at https://github.com/w3c/csswg-drafts/issues/4430#issuecomment-875758012 using your GitHub account -- Sent via github-notify-ml as configured in https://github.com/w3c/github-notify-ml-config
