I can't answer the rest of your questions, but for this one: no, that's
considered harmful. Translations, themes, user configuration (font faces
and sizes), and probably more variables affect the size of text to be
laid out. It's probably possible with an image-only design, but that's
not as generally useful.

For something to be printed, you should probably consider using an
actual page description language like PostScript or possibly TeX (which
I am not so familiar with).
