it's not trivial what a pixel in CSS is in physical size. It is defined by degreese of visual angle (not inch or centimeters): "The proper dimension of a CSS pixel is actually dependent on the distance between you and the display." https://hacks.mozilla.org/2013/09/css-length-explained/ So whatever the browser/ environment assumes as viewing distance, the physical size of a pixel can vary (though it is of course limited by the physical device of course)

how large 1 pixel is depends on device and browser (e.g. a device pixel is not necessarily equal to a browser's pixel). i think the keyword is "virtual pixel".

There is a suggestion in StackOverflow to use a css reset. Here is a link to one. https://meyerweb.com/eric/tools/css/reset/ I haven't actually tested it, so I don't know how effective it is.

the font type is "sans-serif" and if you do not specify the font exactly, the browser will use its default.

Andrew [DEAD] another option might be using @media /* For screens smaller than 768px (typical phone width) */ @media only screen and (max-width: 768px) { body { font-size: 14px; /* Adjust as needed for smaller screens */ } } /* For screens between 768px and 992px (typical tablet width) */ @media only screen and (min-width: 768px) and (max-width: 992px) { body { font-size: 15px; /* Adjust as needed for tablets */ } } /* For screens larger than 992px (typical desktops) */ @media only screen and (min-width: 992px) { body { font-size: 16px; /* Base font size for desktops */ } }
