I'm working on my first kindle ebook. This book contains many equations. I want these to keep a font size relatively close to the font size chosen by the reader.

To achieve this, I had the equations rendered as images of a fixed size of 5 inches wide, with a font size of 15pt.

In my stylesheet I made the image 20em wide, which is an approximate to achieve the desired result.

My doubt comes from the fact that the measures in em are not supported in the first generations of Kindle; According to your experience, what could happen to those images during the conversion?
How is it that you anticipate this working with font resizing, generally, if I may ask? Font resizing/scaling, and image resizing, are done in two completely different ways and have no interlocking dependencies or...any way to tie one to the other. ???
