Common errors

The wrong base font size is assumed.

Fix: Use the actual parent or base size that applies in the target context.

The user expects rem behavior instead of em behavior.

Fix: Use a rem converter if the sizing should depend on the root font size instead.

A unit label is pasted in a format the tool does not accept.

Fix: Enter clean numeric values if the tool expects raw numbers.
