Most modern browsers at default settings will render them the same, but most older ones will not, and Konqueror still holds true to making a pt display density dependent. This means if the DE is configured to accurately match display device density, a pt will in fact measure 1/72" at the device surface, regardless how many px it takes to render it. This is generally no longer possible in modern browsers. The other exception is the Geckos, which provide the mozmm unit. If you wish a 12pt font from a Gecko, you get it by specifying font-size: 4.2333mozmm instead of or following font-size: 12pt or 16px. > http://dev.w3.org/csswg/css3-values/#lengths -- "The wise are known for their understanding, and pleasant words are persuasive."
