Well... that depends. If one defines a font in point sizes, then as the density of the display increased the number of pixels used in letters would correspondingly increase.
Fonts have a size, usually stated in points. This size is fixed; you cannot change it. Fonts of similar glyphs but of different sizes compose a typeface. Fonts of different sizes but of the same typeface have differently proportioned glyphs. Larger fonts have narrower strokes. SVG is not good for typography since it can be scaled to any dimension and type cannot.

Programming is as much about organization and communication
as it is about coding.
I like Perl; it's the only language where you can bless your
thingy.
