@jasmussen I've noticed that in the common.scss bundled the classes used em while in the editor.scss bundled they used px. Looked at the history but this seems to be like that since the beggining. Do you happen to remember why that difference by any chance? Is it safe to substitute them with the theme.json values in px?

Good catch. There's a lot of discussion around ems vs. px, but since we have a unit selector in the interface, px provides a default that's fairly easy to understand in comparison.

So why are the values in px in the editor and em in the interface? Good question, that seems like an oversight.

Is it safe to remove? Almost certainly. Looking at the values, we have 0.8125em for "small", which maps to 13px in theme.json. The math checks out because ems are based on the parent font size, which in the case of the body element is 16px by default. And 0.8125 * 16 = 13.

Two issues:

  • The problem is that ems are not rems, and they take their value from the parent. Meaning there could be nested cases where the font size wouldn't match.
  • The other issue is if the theme sets the font size on the body element to something other than 16px, then the math will be wrong.

But in both cases, it appears those issues are in trunk and already shipping, meaning all this PR does is correct an error. It also appears that the global styles that are output have already corrected this error, meaning this is just code cleanup.

Right, since we load the global stylesheet for all themes, the core classes enqueued there are overriding these styles already.
