> You are describing how `px` was always supposed to work, except that approximations are allowed to be very rough for practical reasons. That its conversion ratio to `pt` and thereby other “absolute” units had to be fixed later on, is unfortunate, but irrelevant here. > > The proposed `vad` unit (and a possible `vam` 1:60 subdivision) would therefore certainly be tied to `px` as well. The only question would be: at which ratio? (after the more important one: is it really needed and worth the cost?) > > Your fallback example suggests 30:1, I’d expect something closer to 45:1 as explained in the original, closed issue. for same px number like 16px for general words, its physical height is same in a laptop and in a 100 inches big screen, and causing its imposible to distinguish the words in big screen. This reality makes your idea of making a fixed ratio link between vad and px, is impossible. -- GitHub Notification of comment by WaylonShaoinChina Please view or discuss this issue at https://github.com/w3c/csswg-drafts/issues/14381#issuecomment-5394551513 using your GitHub account -- Sent via github-notify-ml as configured in https://github.com/w3c/github-notify-ml-config
