Tab, I do not understand how you can say and why you say that 16px is always equal to 12pt, especially if DPI is 180. Setting the px value (from 16px to, say, 18px) has no impact on the DPI setting: I understand that. As far as I understand this, 16px is equal to 12pt when and only when DPI setting is 96. ...Maybe I'm wrong... pixel density per inch (DPI) affects how big or small a 16px font size graphem looks. Just trying to understand.. Gérard
