Hello, The following comes from XSL 1.0 Recommendation, section 5.9.13.1 Pixels: [...] The actual distance covered by the largest integer number of device dots (the size of a device dot is measured as the distance between dot centers) that spans a distance less-than-or-equal-to the distance specified by the arc-span rule in <http://www.w3.org/TR/REC-CSS2//syndata.html#x39</a>. In XSL this is assumed to be 0.28mm [approximately 1/90"] for print, desktop computer monitors, and hand-held devices viewed at normal viewing distances. [...] When you follow the link to CSS2 Rec. (above URL), you just read these very same values (i.e. 0.28mm and 1/90"). But, when you go to the Errata page for CSS2, <http://www.w3.org/Style/css2-updates/REC-CSS2-19980512-errata.html> it is said in the Known Errors Section 4.3.2 Lengths (near top of the page), that: [2001-08-28] The suggested reference pixel is based on a 96 dpi device, not 90 dpi. The visual angle is thus about 0.0213 degrees instead of 0.0227, and a pixel at arm's length is about 0.26 mm instead of 0.28 Do values given in the XSL Recommendation need to be changed? Translating the Recommandation into French, JJS. -- /* home page <http://www.yoyodesign.org/> */ /* public key id: 9eb99ddb <http://www.keyserver.net/> */
