Hi, I'm trying to make my app work for a variety of screen sizes and densities, I'm using style sheets as much as possibly to control the size of things. Since I want things to be the same physical size across devices generally, I'm trying to specify things in points (which are 1/72 inches by definition, and converted to pixels with reference to the pixel density of the device).
The style sheet reference implies that any "Length" type value can be specified in pt, px, em or ex. But I'm not clear on the exact syntax. I've tried the following; font-size: 50pt; -- works font-size: 50 pt; -- does not work - results in default font size font-size: 50px; -- works font-size: 50 px; -- does not work - results in default font size margin-left: 100pt; -- does not work - results in 0 px margin-left: 100 pt; -- does not work - results in 100 px regardless of pixel density margin-left: 100 px; -- works margin-left: 100px; -- works A quick glance at the source code (for both 4.8.4 and 5.0.1) shows - there's a length parser for fonts, which only understands "pt" and "px", not "em" and "ex"; - there's another parser for other lengths, which understands "px", "em" and "ex" but not "pt". Hence my points being treated like px above. It's not really clear what font the "em" and "ex" are being calculated against in that case. I think these are bugs. But either way I think my attempt to work in points is doomed as a result. Any other suggestions how I can achieve this?
