CJC Posted May 23, 2023 Posted May 23, 2023 I want to change the font size units from points to pixels and can't find how to do so. I change the document units to pixels but it won't change for font size selections. How do I change the font sizing units? Quote

Old Bruce Posted May 24, 2023 Posted May 24, 2023 Here is a tip: If, like me, you want to work in points but occasionally need to have text be exactly some other unit in size then you can just enter the unit in the box. For example type 16mm in there. The conversion to points will take place for display but the font size will be 16mm. Quote Mac Pro (Late 2013) Mac OS 12.7.6 Affinity Designer 2.5.5 | Affinity Photo 2.5.5 | Affinity Publisher 2.5.5 | Beta versions as they appear. I have never mastered color management, period, so I cannot help with that.

Awesome tip @Old Bruce! 99% of the time I work in px but this is a great tip for when I need pts for print. Thanks a million Quote
