title: Which height does a font-size in pixels refer to?
body: <p>In many programs or systems you can specify a font-size by pixel height. (Photoshop, CSS, etc.)</p>
  
  <p>What does this refer to exactly? Is it the height from the descender to the ascender? From the baseline to the cap height? I haven't been able to find out whether there's a standard for it, or if each application handles it differently.</p>
  
  <p>// EDIT</p>
  
  <p>I just realized this isn't really the right place to be asking this. Is there a way to remove this question?</p>
