RE: pixel-based vs. real-word-pased units

display whose resolution is "very different from that of a typical

including the following:

Another large assumption made by the test suite is that custom fonts are
installable (such as the Ahem font).  You may wish to add this
assumption to the README.  For all of the printer UA's of which I am
aware, this assumption breaks.
