That was a float <-> string question (thread "validators for the rest" from 11/2004). Unfortunately I could not find the reason. IMO if something is a floating point value it should not be truncated to an integer. I don't care if the values are stored as strings in or something else, but since LaTeX allows a scale value of 94.5% I want to be able to enter that. I know a program where angles are stored as integers (in degrees), and that really hurts if you need something else than the usual 90 degree multiples. Georg
