I don't see any reason why we couldn't support CSS style units. At the
point that we're creating the image we have access to the complete
face information so it would be fairly simple to convert things like
'1em' to a number of pixels.

Although maybe we'd like to make it a bit more lispy and do something
like ":height '(1 . em)". It's easier to parse in C. ;)
