I am using Inkscape 0.91 for Ubuntu and am working on a template. The unit chosen for the document is pixels, the font size for the menu items Open Sans 14px all caps. But when I check the font size in the XML editor it states it is 17.5px . Why is that?

It seems fonts used to be in px, but earlier this year after a five year debate has been turned into pt. And on hover I finally saw it too:



As I chose pixels for the document as default and for dimensions Inkscape calculates a value in pixels and adds it to the source code. This leads to odd numbers sometimes like 28.6666 or the likes. This is rather unfortunate as I am using this for webdesign. Will have to think about the general setup here.
