Amen! And a slice of bread too. A few more reflections: After using Inkscape for mocking up a lot of website designs in the past year, I can see the benefit of being able to choose your text size units through a listbox -- perhaps at document- level, through Document Properties, although maybe to be consistent with the object scaling and moving toolbar, it should be in the text formatting toolbar instead.
Here's my web use case: on the web, pixels are absolute measurements in a way that they aren't in print. It's quite handy to set font size to 16px in my mockup, because that's most likely what I'll be doing in my CSS template as well. (Still sitting on the fence with regard to fluid- vs-fixed text sizes; zooming on all modern browsers is vastly improved.) So I can see two very different use cases, one which requires points, and one which requires pixels. Therefore, I think it should be configurable per-file, with the default set to points. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/168164 Title: font sizes specified in pixels instead of points To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/inkscape/+bug/168164/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
