Hi Ian,

A test for text-indent (t1601-c547-indent-00-b-a) seems to depend on a 
particular equivalence between pixel units and absolute units.

It states that there should be a "tall solid unbroken column of blue" in 
the output, which is actually made of numerous indented blue boxes which 
should all line up.

However, one of the boxes is indented 24px, while another is indented
0.25in; doesn't this require a particular output device, given that pixels
in CSS are relative units intended to correspond to display angle?

Cheers,

Michael
