What I said was flawed by a bad edit on my part. It was:
The font size is not given in 'ex' units and cannot be...
but was intended as:
The absolute font size is not given in 'ex' units and cannot be...
The discussion touched on pixels, units of absolute size. Specifying font
size in ex units is, but for a fixed scale factor, identical to specifying
in percent.
I am an electrical engineer, not a computer science person. What I know
about software is mostly C, C++ and assembly. HTML and CSS are specified
less closely and more open to interpretation than I am used to.
