Thanks you for your kind explanation :) Mattias > > Anyhow, I would kindly appreciate it if there are some more comments > on how to show units in the standard Inkscape interface (remember that > if translating you can choose your own style as reporting units may be > language dependant). > > Kris ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ ThinkGeek and WIRED's GeekDad team up for the Ultimate GeekDad Father's Day Giveaway.
