Font size in points
-
I don't know if this is a bug or if it's me. I normally work in mm units but I prefer pts for stroke width and font sizes. I can use Preferences to enable line widths to be set and displayed in point sizes. When I use Preferences to try to use point sizes for text sizes, it stays as mm. The setting "Convert .... to unit" doesn't help.

@mickrose Try writing in a font size field for example: "12 pt" (important to write pt also, the first time).
This should switch it to points. -
The text in the font size selector does show in pts. It is the list under the down arrow which stays as millimetres.

@mickrose Yes, this could be caused by having mm in the document units (Document Setup -> General).
By default the font size list is shown in document units.
This can be changed in Preferences -> Number Editors -> Font Size Units drop down. (VS may need to be restarted after this preference change).

Thanks @vectoradmin. That works now.
