Hi All,
I've been tutoring inkscape around the place recently and one comment that keeps comming back is how small the text tool is by default.
I couldnt reproduce the issue until I realised that the default new document is scaled down to show the whole area of the canvas-area the window. This means that the default font-size of 12pt actually appears quite small for all first time users ( who are only just discovering how to zoom and use all tools )
Picture this : You're a first time user who has executed inkscape and discovers the toolbar on the left hand side of the window. All tools work great however the font-size of the text tool is quite small making all text operations feel uncomfortable in comparison with the other tools.
I propose we alter the default document to be viewed at a 100% scale so that all tools visually balance the way they would on the output media.
what do you reckon?
