<div> > days ? </div><div>Maybe we should just avoid mixing units and require the usage of pixel for sizes? From what I see, applications only seem to treat ppi information as meta-data for printing; changing ppi from 72 to 300 in Gimp does nothing to the font size, 18pt stays 18pt.</div>
<div>What I fear is that some applications which behaves like Gimp would just change the resolution whenever the user changes it, without updating all the non-pixel based values. Then you would open it in another application only to find out all the sizes have been messed up. Defining font sizes based on ppi thus seems like the less reliable choice to me.</div>
<div><br></div><div>72 ppi does seem like the best choice for a default. The whole dpi/ppi units are completely messed up anyway, often meaning different things in different context, sometimes used interchangeably, other times differentiated. If all other applications believe 72 ppi is the default, lets just roll with it instead of risking to cause issues with novel defaults.</div>
