Hi Jeremy,
I'm not sure if it can be a mismatch problem between Veusz and Inkscape.
If I export with the preferences "Editable text in svg" checked, I can
see the font size in the svg file opened with a text editor and it
already is factor 1.25 bigger. I also noticed that text looses its
italic format when exported as editable text to svg. Both effects appear
under Windows XP 32bit and Windows 7 32bit with different users i.e.
different default settings.

Hi all,
I just exported a Veusz graph as svg to Inkscape and discovered that the
axes and tick labels did not match with the size I set within Veusz. In
my case I set them to 10 and 8 (Times New Roman) and they were exported
as 12.5 and 10, respectively. Is there anything I could have done wrong
or I should pay attention to?
Hi Markus. It's probably a DPI mismatch. Veusz exports SVG files
assuming 90 DPI. I thought inkscape used 90 DPI, too, but perhaps
they have switched it to 72 DPI (which would explain the 1.25 size
factor difference).
As far as I know, you can't specify a DPI in an SVG file, so I'm not
sure what the correct solution is. I could add an option in the
preferences dialog for SVG DPI. I could switch the output to 72, but I
think different programs might use different values.
