FYI, all KDE font settings are in pts, so making this be pixels is no go. I need to dig up my patch that makes it -real- points and not web ones, though. There is now a de facto standard among web browser vendors to use pixels as the font size unit. Diverging from such standard - for whatever reason - is not necessarly going to help the user or the web author. Regardless of the unit KDE+Konqueror chooses for setting font size in web pages as an implementation strategy (and regardless of the reasons for such choice) still must make the interface show what is the unit. Whether it's px or pt or whatever unit, the interface (Minimal font size and Medium font size) should still clearly and explicitly show such unit for font size. This is furthermore justified and relevant if Konqueror diverges from the de facto standard among web browser vendors. regards, Gérard > all KDE font settings are in pts
When I use Konqueror's DOM treeviewer (Tools/View DOM tree) and then Computed Style tab, the font-size is shown with "px" unit, not "pt".
regards, Gérard
I'd say it would not hurt to display the word "points" to the right of the spinbuttons. |
