So knowing about the existence of the reference pixel, as someone who isn't a designer, I don't see why text would have to be half size on a high resolution screen. I've seen images targeted to pixel density, but fonts are vector so it doesn't seem necessary. Am I missing something?
- chrisseaton 7y agoWow so a pixel is actually a unit of angle, defined from inches of all units!
- flqn 7y agoOnly the css reference pixel. In other contexts a pixel is a point sample with no size
- chrisseaton 7y ago> a pixel is a point sample with no size They have pitches. When people talk about their size they mean the pitch.
