Applications should be using units like mm or points,
Sorta. What they should be using is an em determined from user preferences/settings, a "this" size without regard to how many mm or pt it measures.
Well an em doesn't make any sense without a point size! With a 16 point font an em is just 16 points, with 8 point font it is 8 points. Using ems makes sense for the window size of an application like a terminal - I want it 80 ems wide and 24 ems high, perhaps (though why would I use ems for the vertical measurement?). But it doesn't make sense for a browser, where there are many different font sizes and where I don't want the window to change size if I change my font size preference. I want the text to reflow instead. Cheers, Dave -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner@opensuse.org
