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.
