Copying CSS from layer. Why it gives the wrong px pt conversion? 16pt=16px

Hi, I am extrapolating the css of the different h1/2/3/4 ... from the layers in photoshop.

I noticed that the css is in PX but it gives me the conversion 1px=1pt which isn't correct. It is to say I have a copy of 16pt in Photoshop and the css gives me 16PX... but it is wrong! Should be 21.33px

I tried changing the units in the preferences in Photoshop to px but still it converts as 1pt=1px so the copy that was 16pt in photoshop is 16px if I put the units in pixels.

Is there a way to avoid this problem and have the correct conversion?

Otherwise CSS from layer is kind of pointless ....

thanks

Ale

Could you please post a screenshot taken at View > 100% and with the pertinent Panels (Layers, Channels, Options Bar, …) visible and the resulting CSS text for the selected Layer?

for example: If I stick to pt in the font size, then select the layer and copy the css, when I paste it outside in a note file it changed the 20pt to 20px instead of properly converting. I read that at 72dpi 1px it is almost same size as 1pt but shoudln't it being converted properly with %? px to Point Converter, Chart -- EndMemo
