There are some rounding errors in the font size display in r11664. Open the attached example file. 18.2pt is 22.75 px in the XML editor, but 18.19999999 (plus or minus a few 9's) in the display.
The fix would be for the bit of code that is displaying the point size, wherever that is, to do this: font_size = round (1000.0 * font_size)/1000.0; Or 10000. It loses a bit of precision, but are there any applications that need 1/10000th of a px font size precision? In any case 18.199999999 -> 18.200 and would then display as 18.2. ** Attachment added: "point_size.svg" https://bugs.launchpad.net/inkscape/+bug/168164/+attachment/3315200/+files/point_size.svg -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Desktop Packages, which is subscribed to inkscape in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/168164 Title: font sizes specified in pixels instead of points Status in Inkscape: A Vector Drawing Tool: Fix Committed Status in “inkscape” package in Ubuntu: Triaged Bug description: I've been using Inkscape for work as my only vector editor for the past year or so, and while it's extremely capable, there is one coding choice which I find completely bewildering: Why is font size specified in pixels instead of points? This seems to be used in both listboxes and the actual raw SVG. For the longest time I could not figure out why my text always looked so small. I don't think pixels are a useful measurement for text, as points are the de facto standard. Using inkscape 0.44.1 autopackage.org build on Ubuntu Linux 6.06.
