Yes, I that's *by definition* always the case ! pt is a point - not a dot or a pixel !!! "Point" is a unit of measurement used in typography that is equal to 1/72 inch. It is used primarily for representing the height of characters and the amount of space between lines, also known as leading. --> see http://support.microsoft.com/kb/76388 Manuel > And why?
