You are right about this. However, we cannot do too much about it for the reasons outlined below. TeX4HT provides dimensions in print measures like "pt" (most such measures are put in the .css files it produces; the IMG tag is currently an exception). It does this since TeX does not know about pixels, it only knows about print measures. I think that this generally works out more-or-less OK because 1pt=1px is still not too far off (or perhaps browsers compensate). At this point in time there is no general configuration option for tex4ht (similar to the dpi option for dvips) which would allow one to convert the print measures into pixel. Even if there were, the conversion (for PNG files) from pixels to print measures and back to pixels would create some overflow differences. There is probably a better way since pdfTeX manages to work with pixels but it would need a significant re-write of tex4ht. Regards, Kapil. --
