The problem is that point size used by Node and point size used by CSS are not the same. One uses a 72 DPI and the other 96. Thus the final pixel sizes are different.
I don’t see how to change one or the other without breaking a ton of people. Maybe adding a global font DPI so that Node can be made to match CSS ? Suggestions ?
