--- Comment #13 from Michi <wosk...@yahoo.de> --- (In reply to Laurent Montel from comment #12) > It's hard to know what user wants... You're absolutely right. Therefore the "General" font size in the systemsettings seems like a very good indication what "default" (aka 1em) really means in the user's eye. > Why 18pt must be changed to 1em ? > Perhaps he wants that receiver see it as a "18pt" => 1.2em and not 1em no ? Yeah, and the solution right now does not produce that to begin with. If your want that you have to revert the commit. But it was the whole point of this bug report that you should not work with absolute values. Noone can assume that a certain pt size is being displayed properly on the receiver end. It's the same story with web pages. Web pages with fixed font sizes are, well, a bit short sighted. Let's assume someone with a default screen font size of 12 writes an email in font size 12. With your fix it is calculated to 1em. Any email client on the receiver side scales that relative to some reference, probably to the "default" font size, whatever that is (it can be anything and not just 12pt!). For that reason I was also suggesting not to use absolute font sizes in the composer UI. Again, working with em font sizes never produces a hard coded result on the receiver side. 18pt will never be automatically 18pt at the receiver end - only if the receiver uses the same reference as the sender. And you cannot assume that. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are the assignee for the bug. _______________________________________________ Kdepim-bugs mailing list Kdepim-bugs@kde.org https://mail.kde.org/mailman/listinfo/kdepim-bugs
