1.32 sounds very close to 96/72 -- one possibility is that your screen has a
dpi of 96, while the photoshop document is 72 dpi.
pointSize can be a big "gotcha" when developing on the desktop and then
deploying to a device with much higher dpi. e.g. if you've designed something
like this:
//Button.qml
Rectangle {
height: 50
Text { font.pointSize: 24; anchors.centerIn: parent }
}
The Text height relative to the Rectangle height will differ greatly between
the two platforms, since the Rectangle has a fixed pixel height, while the Text
pixel height depends on the DPI. (in which case you can either use pixelSize
instead of pointSize, or make the Rectangle height depend on the Text height)
