You have to force the scale/zoom but the OS and/or the hardware might still overwrite it. You might want to read "A pixel is not a pixel is not a pixel": http://www.quirksmode.org/blog/archives/2010/04/a_pixel_is_not.html – Szabolcs Páll Nov 18 '15 at 15:16

Honestly IMHO the solution is to use real life units (cm, mm) and relative units (%, em) according to the standards and then let the client side decide to respect those standards and to what extent. – Szabolcs Páll Nov 18 '15 at 15:25
