| (...) I'd say that DPM or DPMM make perfect sense. The thing is, your description said that units are all in CM or IN, and that M and MM aren't supported. And yet, you force the user to specify which units to use in either IN, M, or MM. That seems (...) (18 years ago, 6-Mar-08, to lugnet.cad.dev)

| (...) Hi Rosco, I'm going to make my font dialog, and default font picker only work with scalable fonts. They are perfect for this kind of situation. I guess that is why they were created by Adobe a long time ago (I read the Wiki!) Thanks, Kevin (18 years ago, 6-Mar-08, to lugnet.cad.dev, FTX)
