FONT size is by default in pt and it translates it 1:1 to px

[Anna5EF3]

Sizes, densities & math are a part of the design.

I'm not a math person but...

Why I can't change default text unit to px — and why when looking at dev's specs it is translated 1:1 — 

so 55 pt > makes 55 px 

I need some help with that truly 

Thanks for help or instructions to better understand that issue!

Hi Anna,

Let us know if this answers your question or if you need any further assistance.

In short, XD does use px for text size, not points. It uses @1x pixel sizes which can be extrapilated into @2x and @3x as needed. These @1x pixels are sometimes called "reference" or "coded" pixels, and are translated 1:1, 1:2, or 1:3 depending the on the output resolution of the screen.
