Ask PG: Points to Pixels

1 pointsby earnubsover 12 years ago
Can I suggest changing the CSS units for fonts from points to pixels? That way HN will look the same on both Chrome and Firefox for me :)<p>On Chrome 10pt HN type is 12px on Firefox it's 13.3333px (Mac OS X).<p>(Apologies if this is not the way to do this! Thank you for HN!)

Why pixels anyway? REMs are generally considered convention nowadays anyway?<p>And what does it matter if it doesn't look the same on every browser? It definitely doesn't change the experience.
