was not able to compile on fedora 14 with

 $ rpm -q gtkmm24
gtkmm24-2.22.0-1.fc14.i686

(14:28:35) insaner: $ rpm -q gtk2
gtk2-2.22.0-1.fc14.1.i686


it was throwing a 

   CXX    widgets/font-selector.o
widgets/font-selector.cpp: In function ‘void 
sp_font_selector_set_sizes(SPFontSelector*)’:
widgets/font-selector.cpp:352:67: error: cannot convert ‘double’ to ‘const 
gchar*’ for argument ‘2’ to ‘void gtk_combo_box_append_text(GtkComboBox*, const 
gchar*)’
make[3]: *** [widgets/font-selector.o] Error 1

so i went to that line stared for a while.. tried a few things, and this
seems to have fixed it:

change line 352 in widgets/font-selector.cpp from
----------
#if GTK_CHECK_VERSION(2, 24,0)
        gtk_combo_box_text_append_text (GTK_COMBO_BOX_TEXT(fsel->size), 
Glib::ustring::format(size).c_str());
#else
        gtk_combo_box_append_text (GTK_COMBO_BOX(fsel->size), size);
#endif
    }
 -----------
to
 -----------

#if GTK_CHECK_VERSION(2, 24,0)
        gtk_combo_box_text_append_text (GTK_COMBO_BOX_TEXT(fsel->size), 
Glib::ustring::format(size).c_str());
#else
        gtk_combo_box_append_text (GTK_COMBO_BOX(fsel->size),  
Glib::ustring::format(size).c_str());
#endif
    }
 -----------

ie, replace "size" with "Glib::ustring::format(size).c_str()"

hope that helps

Title:
  font sizes specified in pixels instead of points

Status in Inkscape: A Vector Drawing Tool:
  Fix Committed
Status in “inkscape” package in Ubuntu:
  Triaged

Bug description:
  I've been using Inkscape for work as my only vector editor for the past
  year or so, and while it's extremely capable, there is one coding choice
  which I find completely bewildering: Why is font size specified in pixels
  instead of points? This seems to be used in both listboxes and the actual
  raw SVG. For the longest time I could not figure out why my text always
  looked so small. I don't think pixels are a useful measurement for text, as
  points are the de facto standard.

  Using inkscape 0.44.1 autopackage.org build on Ubuntu Linux 6.06.
