Well for some reason when I have the font size set to 8px the font doesn’t look anywhere near 8px. Take a look:

Now what I did notice is that up top its set to 8 p **t**

So what I did was change the “pt” to “px” and then it came out right. (but once I press Enter it sets the number @ 3.2pt not 8px)

Any clue how to make the default measurement in px’s not pt?

Thanks 🙂
