I've noticed a strange behaviour. Rounding units works in a weird way in some text areas.
1) draw flow text area 2) fill it with standard "Lorem Ipsum" (Extension>Text>Lorem Ipsum...) 3) select created text and change font size 4) observe the font size values in a input area (text toolbar or Text and Font dialog) For example when I set font size to 26,25pt I get 25,84pt.

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.
