81+ User agents must calculate the computed value of ''font-size/medium'' by multiplying 16px by
82+ the <dfn>text scale factor</dfn> .
83+ User agents must also apply this factor when determining the computed sizes of the other <<absolute-size>> keywords.
84+ However, user agents should scale these other keywords non-linearly
85+ to preserve readability.

87+ Note: Applying a linear scale to all keywords would render large fonts excessively large. See the
