> We need to stop trying to design things pixel-perfect to the mockups
This is the huge war that has left CSS and much of the web a battle-scarred crater-ridden minefield.
Users want to be able to buy a range of devices with different sizes and resolutions for different use cases.
Different users want different text sizes as an accommodation for myopia and age.
Manufacturers want to be able to bring out new devices that have a different screen size and resolution from the previous ones.
Designers (and clients!) want to know exactly what something will look like when they publish it. But insisting that you can predict the "pixel" output in all cases is to fight all of those use cases. It's just that sometimes they win.
Apple are the only vendor who've really got high-DPI and DPI scaling working consistently; Windows support is there but so widely ignored or broken by apps that you can't rely on it.
