Comment 3 for bug 168344

I try to explain the problem in a more understandable way.

With Inkscape 0.45 (Windows XP) the font size is smaller than in every
other program. When you type a letter with Inkscape the height of letter is
about 20% smaller than in Wordpad, Latex and CorelDraw. I am not very
familiar with all typographic units, but somewhere a conversion takes place
from 11 pt to 2.193 mm in Inkscape, whereas the common value should be
around 2.8 mm.
I deleted my preferences.xml and still have the same problem. It has
nothing to do with exporting or dpi. You can see the height of the letter
in Inkscape by selecting the letter and changing your units in the toolbar
(you can choose between %, pt, px, mm,...).

Just print a sample text in Inkscape and the same text in Wordpad, Word,
Openoffice and compare the size.
