Affinity Designer. Font

[graphos]

Hello. I need to type the font in millimeters, but I did not find how to do it. Setting the font only in points ... But I just need millimeters!

It is necessary for me to use the Rectangle tool, set its height to the required dimensions, and adjust the font for it ??? Or also use mesh? It is very uncomfortable! But maybe I just don’t know how to do it ...
Sincerely.

Look in Preferences and uncheck Show text in points

You are a wizard! Thank!

You can also select the text height text field (what the arrow points to in your screenshot) & type values into it. Like most other text fields in the Affinity apps, you can use any supported units the app supports if you include them in what you type.

So for example, just type in "30 mm" (or "3 cm") if that is what you want & the app will use that, even if "Show Text in points" is enabled in preferences.

The app will use 30 mm (or whatever) if that’s what you type, but it will still display the equivalent value in points if ‘Show Text in Points’ is enabled.
