Hi Xin,

Unfortunately, right now you can only adjust font sizes by pt, not pixel.

Best,

Danielle

For screens it would be great to have pixels. There could be an option in preferences.

Can we convert font pt to px?

Danielle Schneider ●

Unfortunately no, you can only use PT. You can always use a converter to check what the PT would be in PX.

Today I found this tool and thought: "Well, this could be something great"! I tried to click it out and stopped at the input field of the text size and the tooltip represents "pt". I looked in preferences and I tried to search how to change that to pixels, 'cause we as digital designers are used to pixels. And it is common sense to working in px, em, or rem unit values and text units are not an exception. Pt values are used in document creators and print designer's fields. Also, that is a UX legacy to working in pixels - all the information of unit sizes should send to developers in px, em, or rem values. Every app and tool that we as designers used and are using cares about the fundamentals of unit sizes. I could not understand motivation and I feel disappointed to found out that this issue is not solved and ignored for so many years. This is a deal-breaker! Seriously you are losing a lot of potential clients.

How exactly can I change the font size to pixels. I can't find a setting.

Chloe Tomlinson ●

Hello,

It is located in the Properties palette in a drop down menu under 'Width' and 'Height'.

Thank you,

Sorry for asking again. I've attached a picture of my properties palette. I can't see a dropdown where I can set the font size to pixels.

Hello,

Which version of Justinmind are you using?

Simone Wiedemann ●

Hello Chloe,

I have been installed the latest version 8.7.10

Chloe Tomlinson ●

Hello,

The most recent version is actually 9.3. If you are willing to update the version you are using, open the Justinmind application. Go to Help - Check for updates, a screen should pop up that will ask you if you want to update to the most recent version of Justinmind. Try updating and let me know if it works!

Thank you,

-Chloe

Hello,

now I have the new update. However, it did not work the way you described. It was indicated that I have the latest version (with 8.7.10).

I downloaded the application again, now everything fits. Thank you for your support.
