Setting Text Size Unit & Other Object Size Unit Differently

[gotanidea]

In Adobe Illustrator, text size unit and other object unit can be set differently. In graphic design, the standard unit of a text is point, whereas the standard unit of an artwork is centimeters, millimeter or inch.

In VectorStyler, we can only set one unit for all objects in File > Document Setup > General tab > Units field.

Could we please have a Text or Font Units field and a Other Units field in the Document Setup window?

@gotanidea In the Preferences -> Number Editors -> Font Size Units drop down, select Points.
May need to restart the app.

There is a bug in unit settings. To reproduce the bug, please open the file:

1. Do not select any object in the artboard

2. Just open Document Setup directly (I set the Units to Pixels and the Font Size Units to Points)

3. Close the Document Setup

4. Select the text object and see its unit in pixels, despite having set the Font Size Units to Points

Or:

1. Select the text object and see its unit in points

2. Open Document Setup (I set the Units to Pixels and the Font Size Units to Points)

3. Close the Document Setup

4. Change the value of the text object size and its unit will change to pixels

@gotanidea Added this to the backlog, will try to replicate and fix ASAP.
