1) Yes it appears so as it's what users expect, even though the default unit people are dealing with should change to PT in the gui.
2) I think it's a power-user feature that would be appreciated by a decent size portion of our community, as long as it works everywhere and is defaulted to our old 90px (and assumed anything not defined otherwise is still treated as 90px until someone wants to deal with importing from various formats we support). 3) The easiest way is to create a simple viewbox which is locked to the "canvas" size and has basic attributes available in the document properties dialog. It's not ideal, but a solid first step. The main issue is that we need to be able to properly interpret viewboxes (also respecting more than one) before we should start writing them. After that, have an option in the View menu to toggle showing viewboxes in a special way (I assume the way we do path highlights or guides or grids or other on-canvas editing assistance), which could then allow to at least be easily moved or scaled by the select tool (and on such a move of the "canvas" viewbox, unlocks it from that canvas viewbox role). Issue: With current trunk I can consistently reproduce an issue where if I create text (the default of "sans-serif" is used), if I still have a blinking cursor in the text box, clicking on the fontface dropdown arrow shows it for a fraction of a second and the gui is locked from there forward (I have to kill via terminal to get it to quit). Note: I see no mention of 72dpi in your patch. Inkscape uses 90dpi as it's default... I'm assuming it was a typo (which is good in this case). -- 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
