Hmm,a TeX pt, strange... however, this is not as easy as I thought > and then theres the other, older versions. > > What dont you think shouldnt be what way? I would hope that you dont mean all > our measurements be done in MM? (Even tho I'm a metric kinda guy myself, I do > realise pts are where its at in printing) Actually I did. I mean maybe you're right on pts being the standard so far, but there's no point for this really. The metric system is a lot better. Actually the only thing I don't use it for so far is font sizes... I'm just used to pts there, but e.g. stroke widths I like in mm a lot more. So even though most proprietary DTPs will stick to Inches, for two more years or more, I think open software should move to the metric system. I'm sure, most designers wouldn't mind, actually all non US designers will like it. But whatever. David
