Currently, svg2pdf does not support units (except for some rare exceptions) and treats every dimension value as in PDF units. The PDF unit is specified in the jsPDF constructor (e.g. new jsPDF({ unit: "mm" })).
In order to implement this, we should add a method to the Context class that converts a dimension value with unit into a unit-less dimension value. For relative dimensions there is already a viewPort property on the Context with the current viewport.
In order to implement units by specification, we should also factor out the PDF unit/scaleFactor, meaning we need to
apply the inverse scale factor. We can access the current jsPDF scaleFactor like this: pdf.internal.scaleFactor.
apply a scale that converts between CSS pixels and PDF user space units (pt). The factor is 72/96. See also here.
We can combine these factors to a matrix that is applied once "around everything" in the svg2pdf method.
After this we can replace/remove the toPixels method in the utils/misc file.
