Do you mean like using px values instead of ems? If so, don't most rendering engines convert internally to px anyway, rendering ems irrelevant for zooming these days? That was my understanding at least.
- jlangemeier 9y agoem is more important when dealing with allowing fonts to be able to handle going from phones to tablets to large screens; while rendering engines do convert to px on the fly; using em allows them to handle it for the machine it's rendering on. At least that's what I was fed as reasoning a few years back.
