Hi,
in IRC there was a discussion about the font size setting and I have to admit that I don't understand it.
The tooltip says the value is in pt, which (according to the CSS specs) is 1/72th of an inch.
Inkscape now uses a DPI of 96 to convert to/from pixels.
When I type some text in 72 pt and then select the object the control bar tells me it's size was 6.72 mm, which would be 0.264566929134 inch [0] and that is 25.4 pixel [1], which is what I can see in the XML being stored.
The part I don't understand is how that value relates to the initial 72 pt? And is it a coincidence that the final result of 25.4 is the conversion factor inch/mm?
Some clarification or links to documentation would be appreciated.
Tobias
PS: Would it be possible to fix the font size box to show "nice" values and not some rounded numbers? Maybe just storing the pt value typed by the user along the converted px value and showing that? Or doing it the right way and putting the pt verbatim into the SVG as it used to be done? Currently it's really hard to do any serious work that involves text.
[0] 6.72 / 25.4 = 0.264566929134 [1] 0.264566929134 * 96 = 25,3984251969 ~ 25.4
