I usually edit the xml files by hand, because lazde does some changes
in the xml which make it hard to see in the diff what I actually
modified.

This thread seems to have changed into one that discusses the provision
of Help for Lazarus, so I'm going to start a new thread.

Thanks for the explanation - definitely not a general knowledge thing.

It is not Delphi specific, but has windows roots.
I still don't know how they got to negative font height idea. The Xlib and
Xft font metrics documentation,
- Setting size selects the point size of the font, no matter what the DPI is.
- Setting height sets the pixel size of the font, and then the correct point
size
is calculated (using DPI) so the height is reached.
So it does work the following way:

User, yes. programmer: no.
As I understood it, the difference is as follows:
- Setting size selects the point size of the font, no matter what
the DPI is.
- Setting height
I think it should be like this in Delphi:
Since size and height change the same value with a slightly different
meaning (PPI) whichever value was set,
the other one is rounded and gets a negative value.
If you set size you should get a negative height and vice versa.
