Use pixels for Line Height

[megaroeny]

Was wondering why the current Line property comes up as a percentage? Think it would be better to have it display pixels, especially for CSS purposes.

What do you think?

No. Defiantly not.
Especially for modern CSS you’ll need the unit-less value (it’s percent). Pixels are dead ;-)
Even the font size should be rem (based on 16px base font size—mostly standard).

h1
font-family: $font-1
font-size: 2rem
line-hight: 1.2

I agree that more modern CSS practice uses %, em's and rem's, but some projects use pixels because of legacy code.

Forward thinking is definitely important, but it also doesn't allow for existing codebases that clients might already be using.

Hi, how could I generate a line-heigth label at all? Currently if i use the Get Typography tool it don't write any lh - do I have to use a special setting?

@mimamuh Looks like the new version removes line height from the "get typography" feature.

"get typography" feature merged into the "get property", and using "sp", "pt" and "px"
