Using typography measurements

These use CSS definitions: 1 inch = 96 CSS pixels = 72 points = 6 picas. A CSS pixel is not a physical screen pixel. Relative em, rem, and viewport units need a rendering context and are excluded. Keep these unit conventions consistent when using measurements in construction calculations.
