Hi :) Being bad-practice does not stop things from wide-scale adoption. If we want to marginalise ourselves and become increasingly irrelevant then making a stand about this and other issues makes sense. If, on the other hand, we want to be wisely used in the mainstream then we will have to adopt many appalling prospects such as ".docx" formats. Best-practice is something we aim for when we can but it's not always practical.
In this case of DPI & pixels as measurements i think we have to accept the measurement as defined by MicroSoft rather than the slightly more sensible Mac definitions.

For example, if your display is set to a specific DPI, having a pixel settings in libreoffice would allow you to set the text exactly like you want... but if someone browsing your website have another settings, your text will be all off for this user. For those reason i don't think it make much sense to add a "pixel" unit in LibreOffice, as it will be dependant of a given DPI setting anyway. For your issue, you might want to either translate your "pixel" settings in cm (or anything) while editing the document, or properly design your site to use those unit instead of fixed pixel settings... -- Unsubscribe instructions: E-mail to [email protected] List archive: http://listarchives.libreoffice.org/www/users/ *** All posts to this list are publicly archived for eternity *** -- Unsubscribe instructions: E-mail to [email protected] List archive: http://listarchives.libreoffice.org/www/users/ *** All posts to this list are publicly archived for eternity ***
