TEXT: converted to pixels from inches

[shinlee]

Hello.

For some reason Text resolution is in pixels, it was an automatic change.  I can not find how to convert the text from pixels back to inches.  Edit>Preferences, only provides an option to convert units/rulers from pixels to inches.

Thank you.

Please show us a screenshot of what you are referring to. 

Text size is measured in points (pt), not pixels.  A point is 1/72 of an inch. 

Pixels (px) have no fixed size.  They are measured according to the size and resolution of the device on which they are displayed.

This is basically what Greg said. Text isn't measured in  inches.  

There are 72 vertical points in printing- that means a 72 point font should be one inch tall, and a 36point font is one half and inch tall. That is avery simlified explanation.

Dear User,

There is no one click solution available to convert the resolution in inches. The details given by Greg & Geln explains it well. Please convert your fonts accordingly. 

Thanks,

In addition to what's been said, type size is not the size of an "A" or "a" or "g"; it's the size of the metal block they come on — as designed by Gutenberg. I'm mentioning this in case you pull out a ruler and see a discrepancy.
