[Bug 168164] Re: font sizes specified in pixels instead of points

2012-08-20 Thread Guillermo Espertino (Gez)
I love having pt as units because my work is mostly for print, and it was a real pain to calculate the type size from pixels for every text object, every time. However I found that when I add a viewBox to documents stored with current trunk with pt as units, the size of SVG text is wrong when

I'm having the same problem with classic desktop without effects, so I assume it's not related to compiz, but nVidia drivers. I experience the same rendering artifacts in two different machines using Ubuntu Natty (64-bit) with nVidia binary drivers from jockey (current). One machine has a GeForce

As was stated above by Tom Davidson, there's a couple of ways to convert between inkscape pixels and points. And both are tedious :-p You can manually change the size of every type object using the XML editor, or use a factor of 1.25 to convert the desired point size into pixels. Inkscape uses

Inkscape uses a resolution of 90dpi for the real-size representation. So, if you create a 90x90px square it will be 1x1 inches in real units. A typographic point is 1/72 of an inch, which is equal to a resolution of 72 dpi. 90/72=1.25. So 1.25 is the factor you can use to translate between

I guess we should close it too. Inkscape crashes in a very particular situation and if this report had not much followups, maybe it's not that frequent. Since Ubuntu guys don't think it's worth to fix cairo for Hardy and the bug is caused by Cairo, maybe the offending feature should be disabled

Hi. I'd mark this request as invalid. Most of the points you mention have a workaround - You can pan the image pressing the middle button (weel) of the mouse and dragging. That's extremely convenient and fast (since you can draw and pan with a hand, without needing any keyboard shortcut). GIMP
