And the point is, with the "1px is equal to 0.75pt" change they no longer are. They're just defined as a particular number of "px". A "px" is still a reference pixel in CSS. Yes, this is somewhat odd. But that's the way CSS is used in the real world, it turns out. I suggest reading the extensive discussion on this issue that's already happened. -BorisReceived on Thursday, 9 December 2010 20:58:22 UTC
