title: If browsers convert pt to px, why is it not recommended to use pt?
body: <p>I've been researching about the use of pt vs. px on web development and after reading <a href="https://www.w3.org/Style/Examples/007/units.en.html" rel="nofollow noreferrer">this article</a> from W3C, it's clear to me that using pt can cause problems depending on the user's screen display. </p>
  
  <p>Even so, there's one thing that's puzzling me. I've tested properties with pt as unit measures in Chrome, Firefox, Edge and IE and the four of them convert pt to px correctly (meaning that the value computed for each property is in px, even though I declared it as pt).</p>
  
  <p><a href="https://i.stack.imgur.com/tmpji.png" rel="nofollow noreferrer">In the right: declared property; in the left: computed property.</a> </p>
  
  <p>If the browser is computing the values as px, I assume the problem with pt and screen displays is resolved, right? If it's not resolved, can someone explain to me why? </p>
  
  <p>I'm trying to decide if it's ok to use pt in a project or if it's better for the developers to convert from pt to px while coding. Any new information about this topic is welcome, since it will improve the quality of our team's argument.</p>
